draw the sketch. How high is he initially?

intialPE=finalKE
b) initialPE+ intialKE= finalKE

I drew the sketch, the problem does not tell me how high he is initially, I can find the equation vfinal = the square root of (2gh) but I don't know what h is.

I know this is about 5 years too late, but h would be the length of the vine (21 m)
