Math Problem Statement
A parachutist jumps from an aeroplane. After he had fallen 40m, then his parachute opens. Now he falls with a retardation of 2 m/s² and reaches the earth with a velocity of 3 m/s. What was the height of the aeroplane and for how long he remains in the air? g = 10m / (s ^ 2) )
