Differential Equations using velocity
Here is my problem:
The equation: 
describes the velocity v of a parachute jumper. We have
and
.
1. Solve. I found
.
2. Find v(t) as
. I found
.
3. When is dv/dt the largest? At that moment, how many G's of force does the jumper experience? It is largest at t=0 at by replace the value of v at t=0 in the expression of dv/dt, I find dv/dt=-30. Therefore the jumper experiences 3G of force.
4. Here I am having trouble. If an auxiliary parachute opens at time
, the coefficient K=K(t) is
.
Without solving this new equation, figure out a reasonable choice for the constant
so that the parachutist is not subject to worse $G$ forces that already exerted, but at the same time allows for the softest landing. With this choice of
, find the landing speed v (again without solving the equations).
Thank you in advance
