A man of mass M jumps from an aeroplane ...

A man of mass M jumps from an aeroplane as shown in figure-4.43. He sees the hard ground below him and a lake at a distance d from the point directly below him. He immediately put off his jacket (mass=m) and throws it in a direction directly away from the lake. If he just fail to strike the ground, find distance he should walk know to pick his jacket. (Neglect air resistance and take the velocity of man at the time of jump with respect to earth is zero.)

A man of mass M = 58 kg jumps from an aeroplane as shown in Fig. He sees the hard ground below him and a lake at a distance d = 1 m from the point directly below him. He immediately puts off his jacket (mass m = 2 kg) and throws it in a direction directly away from the lake. If he just fails to strike the ground, find the distance (in 10^(1) m ) he should walk now to pick his jacket. (Neglect air resistance and take the velocity of man at the time of jump with respect to earth zero.)

A man whose mass is m kg jumps vertically into air from the sitting position in which his centre of mass is at a height h_(1) from the ground. When his feet are just about to leave the ground his centre of mass is at height h_(2) from the ground and finally centre of mass rises to h_(3) above the ground when he is at the top of the jump. what is the average upward force exerted by the ground on him?
