Could someone help me set up this problem and give some helpful hints.
From what maxium height can a 75-kg person jump without breaking the lower leg bone on either leg? Ignore air resistance and assume the CM of the person moves a distance of .60m from standing to the seated position (that is, in breaking the fall). Assume the breaking strenght (force per unit area) of bone is 170 * 10^6 N/m square, and its smallest crosssectional area is 2.5 * 10^-4 m square.
