A parachute needs four strings. However, redundancy is best, both for safety and control of the chute. Thus, 16 striings is better, 32 even moreso. Washers around groups of strings cuts down on the likelihood of entanglement. The length of the strings matters, as well (and so does the diameter of the parachute).

When parachute strings are longer why is there more air resistance?

When parachute strings are longer, there is more surface area of the strings exposed to the air. This increases the overall air resistance experienced by the parachute system as a whole, making it slower to fall.


How do you open up parachute?

To open a parachute, you typically need to pull the parachute deployment handle or ripcord located on the parachute harness. This releases the parachute from its container and allows it to inflate. It's important to follow proper training and procedures to ensure a safe deployment.


How do you make a good egg drop contest parachute?

To make a good egg drop contest parachute, you will need a lightweight material like a plastic bag or tissue paper, strings or yarn for suspension lines, and a small cup or basket to hold the egg. Cut the material into a large square, attach the suspension lines to the corners and secure them to the cup or basket. Test your parachute from different heights to see how it performs and make adjustments as needed.


How do you build a parachute for a small object like a toy?

The simplest way to make a parachute for a small toy is to take a handkerchief and some string. Cut the string into five equal lengths, and tie four of them to the corners of the handkerchief, being careful to keep the tails equal in length. Then tie the four ends evenly spaced along the fifth string. Tie the fifth string round the toy, making sure the four strings tied to it are still equally spaced. That will give you a rudimentary parachute.

How long the string be on a parachute?

The 'best' length for a parachute string depends on what the parachute is for and the rest of the design. If a parachute's strings are too short, the whole parachute could collapse. If the parachute's strings are too long, there may be some wobbling and bungeeing about, more twisting of the strings, etc. Parachutes for heavy things (like spacecraft) tend to have longer strings than parachutes for people, since they're less affected by this instability.
