An 80 kg skydiver falls through air with a density of 1.15 kg/m3 . Assume that his drag coefficient is C=0.57. When he falls in the spread-eagle position his body presents an area A1=0.94 m2 to the wind, whereas when he dives head first, with arms close to the body and legs together his area is reduced to A2=0.21 m2 . What are the terminal speeds in both cases?
