Detailed Solution

The figure shows a man with a parachute. He might probably not have come down at the same speed without the parachute.
When a man declines downwards using a parachute, the force acting at the moment is the gravitational force. The earth's gravitational pull pulls man down towards the surface. And also, the man won't be coming downwards with the same speed because the opposition offered by the air or the air friction would vary at every instant in the atmosphere.
