An 88 kg fireman slides 5.9 meters down a fire pole. He holds the pole, which exerts a 520 N steady resistive force on the fireman. At the bottom, he slows down to a stop in 0.43 m by bending his knees. Determine the acceleration while stopping and the time it takes for the fireman to stop after reaching the ground.
