A firefighter with a weight of 712 N slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 3.00 m/s^2, directed downward. What are the magnitudes and directions of the vertical forces (a) on the firefighter from the pole and (b) on the pole from the firefighter?? I think the magnitudes would be the same, but other than that I don't know. If you've followed my other threads, you'll know I'm pressed for time, but you'll also know I'm here to learn. Thanks!
