A 92.5 kg stunt man stands on a piston that will launch him out of a vertical tube. The piston applies a constant force F to the man’s feet.  Starting from rest, the force is applied as the man moves vertically 3.25 m, and while the piston is pushing, the man attains a velocity of 25.5 m/s.  What was the man’s apparent weight during this time interval?   Multiple Choice   18.5 kN   10.2 kN   19.4 kN   9.3 kN
