help me solve this the easiest way possible and explain it
A person that is laying down supine on a bench doing a bench press exercise with a barbell that has a mass of
102 kg. At the start, the individual takes the barbell off the rack and holds it in a static position prior to lowering
the bar (position A). Once the individual starts to lower the barbell in the negative vertical direction, they do so
at a rate of -1.65 m/s2(position B). Once they lower the barbell all the way down to their chest, they push the
barbell in the positive vertical direction at a rate of 2.75 m/s2(position C). After the repetition is completed, they
lower the bar in the negative vertical direction again at a rate of -2.05 m/s2(position D). Once the barbell touches
their chest, they push the barbell in the positive vertical direction at a rate of 3.06 m/s2(position E). Solve for
how much pushing force would be needed at each position to allow this person to achieve the respective
accelerations of the barbell during the bench press exercise
