Unless otherwise stated, in the following problems we assume that the gravitational force is constant with g = 9.81 m/sec² in the MKS system and g = 32 ft/sec² in the U.S. Customary System.

An object of mass m is released from rest and falls under the influence of gravity. If the magnitude of the force due to air resistance is bvⁿ, where b and n are positive constants, find the limiting velocity of the object (assuming this limit exists). [Hint: Argue that the existence of a (finite) limiting velocity implies that
