Explain the lapse rate for the us standard atmosphere


A 120 lbf (534 N) skydiver is free-falling at an altitude of 6500 ft (1980 m). Estimate the terminal velocity in mph for minimum and maximum drag conditions. At maximum drag conditions, the product of frontal area and coefficient of drag in CDA = 8 ft2 (0.743 m2). At minimum drag conditions, CDA = 1 ft2 (0.0929 m2). Assume the pressure and temperature at sea level are 14.7 pisa (101 kPa) and 60ºF (15ºC). To calculate air properties, use the lapse rate for the U.S. standard atmosphere.
