If a man of mass $\mathrm{M}$ jumps to the ground from a height $\mathrm{h}$ and his centre of mass moves a distance $\mathrm{x}$ in the time taken by him to hit the ground, then the average force acting on him is

• Correct answer
  A

  $\frac{\mathrm{M}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{x}}$
• B

  $\frac{\mathrm{M}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{h}}$
• C

  $\mathrm{M}\mathrm{g}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{x}}\right)}^2$
• D

  $\mathrm{M}\mathrm{g}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{h}}\right)}^2$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
