A 50 kg gymnast sticks the landing off the balance beam. Miriam hits the floor with a velocity of 5.5 m/s. The mats and springs in the floor “soften” the landing by increasing the duration of the impact. If the impact of landing takes 0.4 seconds, calculate the average force felt by the gymnast’s legs during the landing.
