You apply gravity (a= -9.8 m/s squared), the weight of the parachuter, the delta x (change in distance) and the air resistance of the parachute.

if the parachute is wider there will be more air resistance which slows things down and if there are holes the air can pass through which decreases air resistance. so the wider it is the slower it is.the lighter it is the slower it is
The answer depends on what information you have from which you wish to calculate time.
Speed = distance / time.
time=distance divided by speed
You would have a very tough time, because that isn't the formula to calculate work. (distance) divided by (time) is the formula to calculate speed. The formula to calculate work is: (force) multiplied by (distance).
