Compute time and distance required to decelerate aircraft


An aircraft is slowed after landing by two identical parachutes deployed from the rear. Each parachute is hemispheric with a diameter of 12 ft. when open. The aircraft weighs 32,000 lbs and lands at a velocity of 160 knots. Estimate the time and distance required to decelerate the aircraft to 100 knots, assuming that the breaks are not used and the drag of the aircraft is negligible.
