Question

An Olympic swimmer stands on top of a platform at a height H above a swimming pool. At the moment of jumping into the pool, he jumps with a speed v_0 forming an angle θ with the horizontal, just as shown in the figure. The swimmer reaches a maximum height h measured from the platform to point B.

(b) Using the conservation of energy, determine the speed with which it reaches just the surface of the pool (point C) in terms of g, H, V_0

(c) The swimmer's mass is 70.0 kg, in addition the platform is at a height H = 7.00 m and the value of the angle is θ = 30.0o. Knowing that at the moment the swimmer jumps he has a mechanical energy of 6517 J (measured from the ground), determine the initial speed with which he jumps and the maximum height he reaches at point B measured from the ground
