The problem involves a paratrooper who fell from an airplane and landed in snow, with specific parameters including his terminal velocity, mass, and the force exerted by the snow. The questions focus on determining the minimum depth of snow required to stop him safely and calculating the impulse experienced during the landing.
Some participants are exploring different interpretations of the problem, while others are attempting to clarify the equations needed for solving the questions. Guidance has been offered regarding the relationships between force, mass, and acceleration, as well as the implications of impulse.
There are indications of confusion regarding the notation for force and the assumptions made in the problem setup. Participants express varying levels of understanding and stress related to the homework's importance.

Dick said:Apologies. I'm not used to getting hammered by two people at the same time. I get confused. You seem to be asking the same questions and I thought you might be working on the same problem. This is a really good reason not the break into somebody else's thread with your own problem.
