Calculate the average force exerted on him

Reference no: EM13537689

If the man falls with his knees and ankles locked, the only cushion for his fall is a 0.480 cm give in the pads of his feet. Calculate the average force exerted on him by the ground in this situation. This average force is sufficient to cause cartilage damage in the joints or to break bones.
