help!! A 66.0-kg diver steps off a 6.30-meter tower and drops straight down into the water. If he comes to rest 2.16 meters beneath the surface of the water, determine the average resistance force (in Newtons) exerted on the diver by the water.

Question

anonymous · Answer

He gains kinetic energy by losing potential energy m g h until he hits the surface.

The water does enough work [force times distance} to absorb this energy. The rest is math.
