Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Center of Mass and Linear Momentum: Problem 26
26 In a common but dangerous prank, a chair is pulled away as a person is moving downward to sit on it, causing the victim to land hard on the floor. Suppose the victim falls by 0.50 m, the mass that moves downward is 75 kg, and the collision on the floor lasts 0.088 s. What are the magnitudes of the (a) impulse and (b) average force acting on the victim from the floor during the collision?
