The cat Daisy (pictured to the left) enjoys sitting on her cat tree where she can both figuratively and literally look down on her family. To reach the top, she first jumps from the floor to the first platform 3.5 ft above her in an arc shown to the right. If she jumps with a launch velocity Va = 15.5 ft/s at an angle 0 = 85°, confirm that she reaches the top of the platform drawn before the peak of her jump. How far back from the platform, d, must she jump from so that her peak coincides with the edge of the platform?
