An airplane pilot fell 360 m after jumping from an aircraft without his parachute opening. He landed in a snowbank, creating a crater 1.1 m deep, but survived with only minor injuries. Assuming the pilot's mass was 84 kg and his terminal velocity was 50 m/s, estimate the following.
(a) the work done by the snow in bringing him to the rest
J
(b) the average force exerted on him by the snow to stop him
N
(c) the work done on him by the air resistance as he fell
