A parachutist jumps from an airplane and experiences air resistance that can be modeled by the equation a=dtdv=g−cdv , where g is the acceleration due to gravity and cd is the drag coefficient related to the parachutist and their equipment. Determine an expression for the terminal velocity of the parachutist as a function of g and cd.
