American football games begin with a coin flip to determinewhich team receives the kickoff at the beginning of the first half.Suppose a coin with mass m=m=0.0343 kg rests on areferee's thumb. The referee flips the coin straight upward byexerting a constant vertical force on the coin over adistance d1=d1=0.16 m. The coin then reaches a maximumheight of d2=d2=0.95 m above the point where it losescontact with the thumb.
(a) Write an expression for theforce exerted on the coin by the referee. Neglect airresistance.
(b) Based upon the answer to part (a), what is the magnitude, innewtons, of the force exerted on the coin by the referee?
