Physics

Len is a 59 kg pole vaulter and he falls from a peak height of5.0 meters after pole-vaulting over the crossbar set at thatheight. He lands on a thick mat and when he first makes contactwith the mat, his centre of gravity is only 0.91 meters high.During Len's impact with the mat, it undergoes a maximumcompression when his vertical velocity reaches 0 m/s and his centreof gravity is only 0.4 meters high. What is themagnitude (ignore direction) of the average forcein Newtons exerted by the mat on Len during this impact?
