A paratrooper fell 370.0 m from an airplane without his chute opening. He landed in a snow bank, creating a crater 1.10 m deep, but survived with only minor injuries. Assuming the paratroopers mass was 80.0 Kg and his terminal velocity of 30.0 m/s. What was the work done by the snow in bringing him to rest? What was the average force exerted by the snow in bringing him to rest?
