At what rate would a 75kg person travel during a slip/fall on a wet surface to the landing position? And what would be the force of the fall?

Answer 1

More info is needed for an accurate answer.

What matters is the person's height and weight distribution. A 75 kg person will have height about 1.8 m with a center of mass at H = 0.9 m.

The speed when he or she hits the ground will be about sqrt(2gH)= 4 m/s

The force of the fall will depend upon the type of clothing worn. Clothes exert a "cushioning" effect.

An approximate impact IMPULSE could be calculated from momentum principles.

Answer 2

Person is 5'3-1/4." Light clothing, no cushioning effect.

thanks!

Answer 3

Please answer.

Answer 4

For impulse, use mass*approximatevelocity
