Homework Statement
A daring 510N swimmer dives off a cliff with a horizontal leap. What must his minimum speed be just as he leaves the top of the cliff so that he will miss the ledge at the bottom, which is 1.75m wide and 9.00m below the top of the cliff?
Homework Equations
s=1/2gt^2 ; v=s/t
The Attempt at a Solution
I used the above equations in that order, and arrived at an answer. My issue is that I did not use the 510N at all! Where does the diver's weight come in?
