What would be the peak force, if 100kg load dropped & free fall for 2.5meter?
Answers received did not consider the velosity of time, as there 2.5meters free fall & stop dead on impact at 2.5meters! Atmospheric or wind resistant is not taken into consideration for the pupose of this calculation.

Since force is mass under acceleration (F=MA) the peak force would be anytime the load is falling.
F=100 kg*9.81 m/s^2 = 981 Newtons.
A simpler way would be to convert from The Metric System to the English System, since pounds are force units (and slugs are mass units).
100kg * 2.2 lbs/kg = 220 pounds (of force).

some Newtons
Kg meters per second squared
just plug in the numbers and do the math
