Chapter 4, Problem 40PCE

On a hot summer day a young girl swings on a rope above the local swimming hole (Figure 4-27). When she lets go of the rope her initial velocity is 2.25 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. If she is in flight for 0.616 s, how high above the water was she when she let go of the rope?
