A 92.5 kg stunt man stands on a piston that will launch him out of a vertical tube. The piston applies a constant force F to the man’s feet. Starting from rest, the force is applied for 1.20 s, and during that time interval, the man attains a velocity of 25.5 m/s. What was the man’s apparent weight during this time interval?

A. Unable to answer without knowing the value of F
B. 3740 N
C. 1970 N
D. 2830 N
E. 2870 N


E. 2870 N
