A boy weighing 4.00 *10^2 N jumps from a height of
2.00 m to the ground below. Assume that the force of the
ground on his feet is constant.
Compute the force of the ground on his feet if he
jumps stiff-legged, the ground compresses 2.00 cm,
and the compression of tissue and bones is negligible
solution:
F = (4.00*10^2/9.8)(9.8) + (4.00*10^2) = 800
answer is 4.04 *10^4 N
