Question

Each push of the legs drives a wrestler 10 cm higher in the air. If on the first push, the trampoline went from 8 cm below its normal surface plane, find the average force exerted by his leg muscles?
I'm just not sure where to start.

Answer 1

\[a \frac{f}{m}\]

If I had the mass of the man I could do the math...

Sorry its 200 kg

Answer 3

a = \[f = 200kg * 8\]
