In february 1955, a paratrooper fell 365 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, suffering only minor injuries. assume that his speed at impact was 56 m/s (terminal speed), that his mass (including gear) was 85 kg, and that the magnitude of the force on him from the snow was at the survivable limit of 1.2 x 10^5 n. what is the minimum depth of snow that would have stopped him safely? what is the magnitude of the impulse on him from the snow?
