ANSWER:
Solution 84GP
Step 1 of 3:
In this question, we need to find the minimum initial velocity such that the climber lands safely on the other side
In part b, we need to find the cumber's direction of motion on landing
Data given
Width of the crevasse
Height of the crevasse
Initila velocity
Part a:
