What force is required to "throw" each pin.
Each pin is 2 kg so to throw one pin say 10 feet up maybe we need more than 2 kgs force and that inertial force may be many fold the weight of the pin...no doubt it can be worked out... and I wonder do we add the force when the pin accelerates from say a height of ten feet to the hands of the juggler... I expect the force of a pin falling from ten feet will be more than its weight of 2 kilos....

I think the problem is more complex than it seems ... well it is to me and I can only observe my reality not the reality as experienced by others...

AND how long is say force from the falling pin time wise... if force needed to be cumulative time separation would be relevant maybe.

I am going out to find a juggler and a bridge
