Question
A diver’s take

off velocity is 5 m/s at an angle of 15º to the horizontal
during a
dive. His centre of gravity is 0.4 m above the pool deck level at take
-
off (point A,
Figure Q1(a)) and is 0 m above deck level when he enters the water (point D,
Figure Q1(a)). How far does he displace his centre of gravity horizontally between

off and entry into the water if air resistance is ignored?
