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.
What else can I help you with?
Does the length of the string affect a parachute?
no
What a parachute string is called?
It's called a "Riser".
Why does a parachute with shorter string drops faster than the one with longer string?
A parachute with a shorter string generally drops faster than one with a longer string because the shorter string allows for less drag and more streamlined descent. The longer string creates more distance for the parachute to deploy fully, increasing air resistance and slowing down the descent. Additionally, the position of the parachute relative to the ground can affect how effectively it captures air, impacting the overall drag force. Thus, the shorter string results in a quicker descent due to reduced drag.
How do they make real parachutes?
the parachute is made from long-lasting strong string series of cord and straps but the actual parachute (top part) is made from Teflon or something similar item used in bullet proof vest
What materials do need to make a parachute?
USE A PASTIC BAG and string
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.
You are making a mini-parachute out of tissue paper to make a parachute that will stay in the air as long as possible How can you increase drag so that the parachute will stay in the air a long time?
To increase drag and prolong the time your mini-parachute stays in the air, you can enlarge the surface area of the tissue paper by making the parachute wider or adding flaps. Ensuring that the parachute is lightweight yet structurally sound will also help it catch more air. Additionally, using a heavier string or attachment point can slow the descent, allowing the parachute to float longer. Lastly, creating a shape that allows for better air resistance, like a dome or a wide canopy, can further enhance drag.
How do you make your own parachute?
As a kid we use to make parachute out of handkerchiefs. Just tie a string to the four corners of the handkerchief, tangle a action-figure in the string and throw him high. It works quite well.
How long are parachute cables?

How do you make the parachute out of string?
Stand on something tall, and toss the man into the air anyway you want
Does the size of a parachute affect how long it will float in the air?
Yes, the size of a parachute does affect how long it will float in the air. A larger parachute with more surface area will create more drag, slowing the descent and allowing it to float in the air longer compared to a smaller parachute.
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.
