Calculate the average Net vertical force during the following landing, without using equations of projectile motion. In this problem a 50 kg gymnast reaches a height of 2.4 meters at the apex of their dismount.  During their landing they move .5 meters vertically (closer to the ground) and their final velocity is zero.  (Consider both the KE and PE during this landing).
