Pulling g’s. Suppose again you are the astronaut in Problem 9. When most people are subjected to an acceleration greater than about 5 × g, they will usually become unconscious (“black out”). Will you be in danger of blacking out?

Data From Problem 9

You are a newly graduated astronaut preparing for your first trip into space. Plans call for your spacecraft to reach a velocity of 500 m/s after 2.4 min. If your mass is 75 kg, what force will be exerted on your body? Assume the acceleration is constant.
