Question: Occasionally, people can survive falling large distances if the surface they land on is soft enough. During a traverse of Eiger's infamous Nordvand, mountaineer Carlos Ragone's rock anchor gave way and he plummeted 496 feet to land in snow. Amazingly, he suffered only a few bruises and a wrenched shoulder.

Part A: Assuming that his impact left a hole in the snow 3.6 ft deep, estimate his average acceleration as he slowed to a stop.

I just want the right answer, Thank you!
