Problem 63GP

Step by step solution

Step 1 of 2

The height of the cliff h = 35 m.

The distance of the rock from the base of the cliff (x) = 5 m.

Let v be the horizontal speed with which the jumpers jump the cliff. Considering the downward direction as the positive y direction and the origin at the point from which the divers jump off the cliff.
