The document discusses an experiment testing how string length affects the time for a parachute to hit the ground. The original hypothesis that increasing string length would decrease fall time was rejected. The results showed that the 30cm string was fastest at 3 seconds while the 40cm string was slowest at 3.52 seconds. This is because the 30cm string had few items allowing quick fall, while the 40cm string tangled and created more air resistance, slowing its fall.
