a) What is the angular frequency, w, of the oscillation? b) How long does it take for the diver to travel from her highest point to her lowest point in the oscillation? c) What is the (linear) kinetic energy of the system consisting of the springboard and diver right at the midpoint of the oscillation? d) The diver jumps upwards, follows an arching trajectory and performs a complex dive with lots of twists and summersaults before gracefully entering the water. How high above the surface of the water was her center of mass when it was at its highest point if it takes 1 sec for her center of mass to fall from its highest point down to the surface of the water? You may neglect any drag forces due to water or wind resistance.
