A 58.0 kg woman steps off of a diving platform with a height of 12.0 m and drops straight down into the water. If she reaches a depth of 4.9 m, what is the average magnitude of the resistance force ?average exerted on her by the water? Ignore any effects due to air resistance.
Wfriction = m g (h + d)
F d = m g (h + d)
F = m g (h + d) / d
= (58 * 9.8 * (12 + 4.9)) / (4.9)
magnitude of the resistance force = 1960 N
= 1.96 kN
