In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal as shown in (Figure 1). At the very top of his arc, a 70 kg vaulter is moving at 2.9 m/s and is 5.5 m from the bottom end of the pole. What is the magnitude of the vertical force that the pole exerts on the vaulter? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

consider a force vector = 300 g at the 40º angle. resolve this vector into its x- and y-components by the following methods: a) graphical: make the x- and y-axes. use a scale of 30 g = 1.0 cm, and draw an arrow of appropriate length at 40º. drop perpendiculars from the tip of the vector to the x- and y-axes. measure the lengths of these lines and hence find the magnitudes of fx and fy. (do not calculate using trigonometry) record the results. b) analytical: compute the magnitudes of fx and fy by using the component method (equations 3-3 and 3-4). record the results.
