3. From what maximum height can a 70 kg person jump without breaking the lower leg bone on either leg? Ignore air resistance and assume the body of the person moves a distance of 5 cm from the standing to the seated position in breaking the fall. Assume the strength (force per area) of bone is \(170 \times 10^6 \, \text{N/m}^2\), and its smallest cross-sectional area is \(2.5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2\).

A fence post of mass m = 8 kg supports a fence with three lengths of barbed wire. The bottom wire is a distance d = 0.35 m from the ground and each wire is a distance 0.35 m above the previous one. Each of these three wires has the tension on it. For this problem, assume that the force exerted by these wires is purely horizontal. An additional guy wire is used to keep the pole upright with a tension of Fa = 490 N. The guy wire attaches to the post at a point h = 0.86 m above the ground and makes an angle of θ = 45 with respect to the horizontal. Write an expression for the tension in any one of the three fence wires. What is the normal force that the ground exerts upward on the post?
