An m=60 kg diver jumps off a diving board h=3 m above the water that acts like an ideal spring with k=1.2 kN/m after being bent a total of y=50 cm. How far below the water does the diver reach without swimming if the resistance force of the water is a constant R=30 N and they are at a θ=25° from the vertical angle? Ignore air resistance.

Question
An m=60 kg diver jumps off a diving board h=3 m above the water that acts like an ideal spring with k=1.2 kN/m after being bent a total of y=50 cm. How far below the water does the diver reach without swimming if the resistance force of the water is a constant R=30 N and they are at a θ=25° from the vertical angle? Ignore air resistance. A student, m=75 kg, is pushed by two springs, k1=1.5 N/m, k2=2.5 kN/m through a frictionless slope, h=10 m, until the θ=30° incline which has µk=0.15. How far, x, along the incline will the student go?
