To solve this problem we will use the linear motion kinematic equations, for which the change of speed squared with the acceleration and the change of position. The acceleration in this case will be the same given by gravity, so our values would be given as,
Through the aforementioned formula we will have to
The particulate part of the rest, so the final speed would be
Now from Newton's second law we know that
Here,
m = mass
a = acceleration, which can also be written as a function of velocity and time, then
Replacing we have that,
Therefore the force that the water exert on the man is 1386.62
