An 84-kg fireman slides 5.1 m down a fire pole. He holds the pole, which exerts a 550-N steady resistive force on the fireman. At the bottom he slows to a stop in 0.41 m by bending his knees.
Determine the acceleration of the fireman while sliding down the pole.
Determine the velocity of the fireman just before reaching the ground.
Determine the time it takes for the fireman to reach the ground.
Determine the acceleration of the fireman while stopping.
Determine the time it takes for the fireman to stop after reaching the ground.
