Question:
A tall person sits down on a sofa to watch TV. Assume that the center of gravity of the person falls 1.0 m with constant gravitational acceleration in the course of sitting down. The sofa compresses by 0.05 m. Assume constant deceleration. Determine the g forces experienced by the person in the course of this sitting down.
Step by Step Answer:

Take 2 forks and place them on one another in such a way that we can place the coin in between the prongs. Now try to place the coin with forks on the edge of the glass. It will take you some time to adjust the coin on the edge. This requires a little practice to adjust the coin on the edge of the glass. With a little effort, we will see the coin sitting on the edge calmly. If you look closely you will see it wobbling a little bit. The mass is in the handles of the forks so as a low center of mass it stables as it looks.
