exam, i.e. no aids permitted. Only a scilentitiic
scientific calculator
c:alcullltor (noncommunicable and non-programmable) is allowed.
2. Write your solutions using pen only (no pencil).
3. Read each question carefully. It is your responsibility to write clearly and legibly.
Illegible solutions will not be graded.
diagra:ms
4. Always sketch free-body diagram indicating the forces involved and system diagrams
indicating relevant information, such as, control volume with dashed lines, symbols,
distances, velocities, locations, etc ..
5. State all assumptions made for answering the questions.
t'"'llm's to have consistent
COIlsi:;tellt units in your solutions, and
6. Use necessary unit conversion factors
make sure that the final answers are in the renruil'ed
required units.

Problem 1 (20% Marks)

On a calm day with
""1th air temperature of 20 0 e and barometric pressure of 1 atm, a skydiver goes
for skydiving. Before opening parachute, the drag force on the skydiver is approximated by the
FD = e JI
J.L pV 2
following relation:
where e is a constant, JI
J.L is the air viscosity, p is the air density, and V is the velocity of falling
skydiver.
(a) Detennine
Determine the dimensions of the constant e, in terms
primary dimensions.
tenns of the m:i!!!!,[Y~:rl!e~ill!li.
(b) If the skydiver has a total weight of 580 N and a body volume of 0.3 m3, using e = 1.528x
l.528x 11004
with the basic SI units for its dimensions obtained from part (a), find the terminal velocity V,
in mis, of the skydiver?
