A trampoline with a 10-foot diameter circular mat has 50 springs equally spaced around its circumference. If a 110 lb. girl produces a downward force of 250 lbs at the bottom of her jump (when the springs are stretched the most) causing the springs to angle down at 5°, then what is the average force in each spring? Assume that she lands in the center of the mat and that 50 separate but equal forces act to support the girl’s peak impact force.

In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 55 kg vaulter is moving at 2.5 m/s and is 5.1 m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter?
A trap-jaw ant snaps its mandibles shut at very high speed, a good trait for catching small prey. But an ant can also slam its mandibles into the ground; the resulting force can launch the ant into the air for a quick escape. A 12 mgmg ant hits the ground with an average force of 47 mNmN for a time of 0.13 msms; these are all typical values.

Your forehead can withstand a force of about 6.0 kN before fracturing, while your cheekbone can withstand only about 1.3 kN. Suppose a 140 g baseball traveling at 40 m/s strikes your head at an angle of 20 degrees from the horizontal. The forehead can undergo a displacement of roughly about 0.75mm before a fracture and the cheekbone only about 0.2mm. What is the magnitude of the force that stops the baseball? What force does the baseball exert on your head? Explain. Are you in danger of a fracture if the ball hits you in the forehead? On the cheek? What is the time interval necessary for either the forehead or cheek bone to break based on the forces stated?
