A 90 kg passenger enters a 400 kg elevator cab. As soon as the door closes and before the elevator starts moving, the cable snaps and the safety system fails, and the cab free-falls from a height of 36 m. During the collision at the bottom of the elevator shaft, the passenger is stopped in 5.0 ms. Assuming that neither the passenger nor the cab rebounds
