Force applied to a net after dropping

[QUOTE="BvU, post: 4938514, member: 499340"] Hello Toke, welcome to PF :) As formulated in post #1, this is an impossible exercise. First, it is strange that a free fall can take place with an acceleration 4g, but perhaps this is taking place on another planet. Second, and more important: nothing is said about the net. Is it a steel grid like they use to reinforce concrete ? Or is it made up of a lot of nice soft rubber bands ? :nb) My guess is that the intention of the exercise was something like: a boy makes a free fall until he hits a net. When he hits the net, his deceleration is 4g. What is the force he exercises on the net ? If I'm guessing correctly, you can get the desired answer from a free body diagram or from ##\Sigma F = ma## [/QUOTE]
