As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by a tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 48.5 kg. if this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 5.80 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface.
what is the magnitude of the force F during the interval
