STEP 1

Assumptions1. The skydiver is falling at a rate of176 feet per second. We want to convert this rate to feet per minute

STEP 2

We know that there are60 seconds in a minute. So, to convert the falling rate from feet per second to feet per minute, we need to multiply the given rate by the number of seconds in a minute.
$$Feet\, per\, minute = Feet\, per\, second \\times Number\, of\, seconds\, in\, a\, minute$$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the falling rate and the number of seconds in a minute to calculate the falling rate in feet per minute.
$$Feet\, per\, minute =176\, feet\, per\, second \\times60\, seconds\, per\, minute$$

Calculate the falling rate in feet per minute.
$$Feet\, per\, minute =176\, feet\, per\, second \\times60\, seconds\, per\, minute =10,560\, feet\, per\, minute$$The skydiver is falling at a rate of10,560 feet per minute.
