Determine the average impulsive force developed

Reference no: EM13550269

The 180-lb iron worker is secured by a fall-arrest system consisting of a harness and lanyard AB, which is fixed to the beam. If the lanyard has a slack of 4 ft, determine the average impulsive force developed in the lanyard if he happens to fall 4 ft. Neglect his size in the calculation and assume the impulse takes place in 0.6 seconds.
