A 120 lbm base jumper (extreme parachutist) leaps from El Capitan in Yosemite National park (3000 ft vertical drop) head first. What is her terminal velocity? She plans to open her chute 350 ft from the base of the cliff. Does she reach terminal velocity before that point? Use Ap=1.ft2, Cd~0.7. Repeat these calcs if she leaps out and falls front side downward, wearing a "wing suit" with arms and legs spread wide (see photo). Take Ap = 10 ft2 and Cd~1.5.
