The speed of a person parachuting when the surface area of the parachute is 100 square feet?

The decent rate will be significantly high on an open parachute because a 100 square foot parachute is considered to be very small. Therefore the wing loading is high and it is more likely to be a high performance parachute. High performance parachutes have a higher angle of attack and generally need to do a swoop (dive) landing to pick up enough wing speed for a safe landing. On touch down, the decent rate is the same as any other parachute for obvious reasons.

HOW MUCH SURFACE AREA REQUIRED BY Parachute?
The amount of surface area required by a parachute depends on various factors such as the weight of the load it needs to support, the descent rate intended, and the design of the parachute. Generally, parachutes for humans typically range from 300 to 500 square feet in surface area.
Will a square parachute work better than a rectangle parachute?
Yes they will
Which is better a round parachute or a square one?
a square one
Whick works better a square triangle or circle parachute?
The best shape for a parachute is a circle. This is because the circle will have a larger area that will cause more drag to slow the parachute.
What is the best shape for a parachute?
square or rectangle
Did Leonardo da Vinci invent the parachute?

If the diameter of an open parachute is 15 ft and the distance from the parachute to the center of the diameter is 8 ft what is the length of the suspension line?
The suspension line length can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. The length of the suspension line is the square root of the difference of the square of the diameter and the square of the distance from the parachute to the center of the diameter. In this case, it is √(15^2 - 8^2) = √(225 - 64) = √161 ≈ 12.69 ft.
What types of objects are most strongly affected by air resistance?
Objects with large surface areas and shapes that are not streamlined are most strongly affected by air resistance. For example, a flat surface such as a parachute or a square sheet of paper will experience greater air resistance compared to a streamlined shape like a sphere or an arrow.

What is the surface area of any shape expressed in?
The surface area of any shape is expressed in square units. For example: square yards, square inches, square meters, square millimeters.
What is the surface area of a 3 inch square?
