25. You bail out of the helicopter of Example 2 and imme- diately pull the ripcord of your parachute. Now k = 1.6 in Eq. (5), so your downward velocity satisfies the initial value problem dv dt = 32-1.6v, v(0) = 0 (with t in seconds and vin ft/sec). Use Euler's method with a programmable calculator or computer to approxi- mate the solution for 0 ≤ ≤2, first with step size h = 0.01 and then with h = 0.005, rounding off approximate v- values to one decimal place. What percentage of the lim- iting velocity 20 ft/sec has been attained after 1 second? After 2 seconds?
