Follow-up Question

I understand we need to start with:

GPEA + KEA = Wf + GPEC + KEC

mghA + 0 = umgL + mghC + 1/2mvc2

from here we can cancel out mass and isolate vc2 to solve. But shouldn't we include the ha in our final solution? Also, may I ask why you canceled gravity out of ugL and ghcv? Thank you!
