How Is the Spring Constant Calculated for an Acrobat's Safe Landing?

[QUOTE="CompuChip, post: 4539411, member: 81086"] You are on the right track, but be careful: you wrote Δh in the second formula, not h. What is the difference in this case? Part two seems to be that simple, unless I'm also missing something :) Let's hope for the acrobat that there is some loss due to friction (or the spring won't fully extend after having been crushed to length 0) otherwise it may be a long evening for him!
