A parachute must have suspended weight in order to open. If you have no weight loading the parachute will fail.
Parachutes are interesting aircraft. The major retarding force of classical round parachutes is drag. Weight and drag determine their rate-of-descent. But air spills out of them because they oscillate, too. Since the 1960's parachutes have been designed that acheive lift from their forward motion.
There is not a certain weightto a parachute
No, it will actually add to the total weight.

yes, it can
To lift the parachute up people carry light weights in it. So if light weights are needed to lift the parachute up heavy weights will fall the parachute quicker.
There is no minimum weight.
cross sectional area for air resistance is greater as you increase the parachute size.
weight would affect a parachute if you put a 500lb man on a parachute and dropped him gravity would make him travel faster towards the ground compared to if you placed a 92lb boy on a parachute as the parachute applies the same force to both of them but the man weighs more so takes more to slow down and therefor lands down on the ground first By Alister Kelly
Categories of aircraft for which a pilot may be rated are:[1][2] * Airplane * Rotorcraft * Glider * Lighter than air * Powered lift * Powered parachute * Weight-shift-control Most aircraft categories are further broken down into classes. If a category is so divided, a pilot must hold a class rating to operate an aircraft in that class:[1] * The Airplane category is divided into single-engine land, multi-engine land, single-engine sea and multi-engine sea classes * The Rotorcraft category is divided into helicopter and gyroplane classes * The Lighter-than-air category is divided into airship and balloon classes * The Powered parachute category is divided into powered parachute land and powered parachute sea * The Weight-shift-control category is divided into weight-shift-control land and weight-shift-control sea
Hypothesis: Will the speed of the parachute increase when more weight is put in to it and will it go slower if less weight is put in
