Parachute Applet by Abdul Latiff

The applet shows the freebody diagram of the forces acting on a parachutist.
The parachute is assumed to open fully instantaneously at t = 30 s
Two options are available;
1. The freebody diagram moves along the v-t graph.
2. The freebody diagram moves along the d-t graph which is however not drawn
so as to avoid confusion since the scale is different from the v-t graph.
