Yes:
The force acting down is constant (mass * g)
The force acting up = velocity 2 * drag coefficient
At chute opening, the velocity is at its maximum, so up force due to drag is at its maximum. (maximum tension)
Drag force reducing with diminishing velocity, to landing terminal velocity (minimum tension)

What pulls you up?
Any force that originates above you does. It could be the tension in a bungee, in the harness of a parachute, etc.
How does a parachute's material affect the speed at which it falls?
it will start to change as the material gets thicker
What are the action and reaction forces on the fabric of a parachute when it is deployed?
When a parachute is deployed, the action force is the air resistance pushing against the parachute fabric. This air resistance is created by the change in the air's velocity as it passes through the canopy of the open parachute. The reaction force to this action force is the drag force created by the parachute pulling against the jumper. This drag force is created by the increase in the parachute's surface area, which slows the jumper down as they fall. The drag force is also responsible for the parachute's ability to slow the jumper's descent enough to safely reach the ground.
What causes a parachute jumper to slow down?
A parachute is slowed down by air resistance.
Why a sitarist adjust the tension in the string of sitar?
The frequency of a string depends on its length, linear density, and tension. Most musical instruments are designed to make it easy to quickly change the tension; this will tune the instrument, or rather, the corresponding string.

What does golden parachute mean?
A golden parachute is given to an executive of a company if they are laid off due to a change in management or downsizing. The golden parachute is usually a large severance pay.
What force doesn't change when a sky diver opens his parachute?
Gravity doesn't change.
The type of contraction in which there is a change in the length of a muscle but no change in its tension?
Isotonic is the word you're looking for. Isotonic means the tension remains the same, but the length can change. Isometric means the length remains the same, but the tension can change.
Can you change the tension on a tensioner pully?
With a self adjusting tensioner pulley, there is no adjustment for tension.
How do you calculate the falling time of a parachute?
You apply gravity (a= -9.8 m/s squared), the weight of the parachuter, the delta x (change in distance) and the air resistance of the parachute.
How do salts change a surface tension?
Dissolving inorganic salts in water the surface tension is increased.

What is a small parachute called?
a small parachute, is a small parachute, ther is no technical name for it. :) a small parachute is called a drogue
What state of matter does not change in volume but has surface tension?
liguid
Which sensory receptor is sensitive to change in tension of a muscle?
proprioceptors
