What is the magnitude of the vertical ground reaction force

Reference no: EM13545409

An elderly person with a body mass of 65 kg is walking while using a cane in one hand. If the upward force that the cane applies to the hand is 117 N and the vertical acceleration of the body center of mass is 1.32 m/s, what is the magnitude of the vertical ground reaction force? (Assume that only one foot is on the ground and the other leg is in the swing phase)
