A diver springs upward from a diving board. At the instant she contacts the water, her speed is 8.20 m/s, and her body is extended at an angle of 64.0° below the horizontal. At this instant her vertical displacement is -2.10 m, where downward is the negative direction. Determine the magnitude and direction of her initial velocity immediately after leaving the diving board
