Answer:
2785.43N
Explanation:
According to Newton's second law;
[tex]F=\frac{m(v-v_1)}{t_1}..............(1)[/tex]
Given;
m = 85kg, [tex]t_1=0.468s[/tex]
v is the velocity with which she lands on the pad while [tex]v_1[/tex] is her final velocity as she comes to rest. Hence [tex]v_1=0m/s[/tex]
We obtain v from first equation of motion under gravity as follows;
[tex]v=u+gt..........(2)[/tex]
u = 0 and [tex]g=9.8m/s^2[/tex]
hence;
v = 9.8t...........(3)
t is the time taken for her to fall through the height h = 12m, so we use the second equation of motion to find it as follows;
