Calculate Impact Force from Falling Object

Mass (m) kg
Fall height (h) m
Depth of penetration (d) m

Average impact force


Formula:

F = average impact force (N)
m = mass of falling object (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s2)
h = fall height (m)
d = depth of penetration after impact (m)
