let initial velocity at the surface of water be u
as the person falls from height h = 3m
u=2gh=29.83=58.8=7.668ms2
final velocity of the person inside water v =0
distance travelled inside water s = 1.1m
apply v2u2=2as
plug the values and solve for a (retardation)
mass of person m = 67kg
force = ma = 67*a N
plug the value of a
