i think i got a start on this one, but I'm not quite sure where to go!
problem: a 53.5 kg diver steps off a diving board and drops straight down into the water. the water provides an average net force of resistance of 1552 N to the diver's fall. the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. If the diver comes to rest 4.3 m below the water's surface, what is the total distance between the diving board and the diver's stopping point underwater? answer in units of m.
so so far, i have found the force of gravity that is working on the diver to be 524.835 N. I know that net work equals the net force times displacement, but i can't find the displacement, because the only thing that I've really solved for is the net force. help!
