Hi, I need help with a problem here at work. Unfortunately, I completely forget physics and dynamics. Here's the problem:
I have a 1000 lbf object falling 32 feet. What is the impact force on the ground assuming that it stops instantaneously. I'm pretty sure I can get the number if I'm given a time or distance the object takes to stop to v=0, but I am at a loss trying to find force given that it just stops instantaneously.
I would really appreciate some help. I'd like to get this problem done before I go home today, haha.
