A daredevil is going to jump across the Erie Canal on a moped. The takeoff ramp is inclined at 0 = 53°, the canal is x = the level of the two banks. The water in the canal is 5 m below the edge of the bank. Air resistance may be ignored. How fast does the daredevil need to be going as she leaves the ramp in order to just make it to the edge of the far bank? Assume g solution in terms of variables and check that the equations are correct for the related case of L = 40 m wide, and the top of the ramp is Yo 15m above 10 m/s?. First get a Yo = 0.
