Question
After leaving a platform, the velocity with which a diver enters the water is directly proportional to the
square root of the height of the platform. When a diver jumps off a 10-meter platform, they will strike
the water at 46 feet per second. In Acapulco, Mexico cliff divers plunge 135 feet into the water below.

Answers
I assume you want the velocity from that height.
v = kâh
so, v/âh = k, a constant.
so, you want v such that
v/â135 = 46/â(10*3.28)
v = kâh
so, v/âh = k, a constant.
so, you want v such that
v/â135 = 46/â(10*3.28)
