Physics force example - Drag force on a diver at terminal speed

Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/8rVzwnKWkC Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/ktbmedia

The terminal speed of a sky diver is 160 km/h in the spreadeagle position and 310 km/h in the nosedive position. Assuming that the diver’s drag coefficient C does not change from one position to the other, find the ratio of the effective cross-sectional area A in the slower position to that in the faster position.
