[nickb145]

Homework Statement

A diver jumps from a 13m high tower, and hopes to complete 212 somersaults.
what should be the rotation rate be

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

13 m = (1/2)(9.81 m/s²)(t²)
t = 1.628 s

ω = 2.5 rev / 1.628 s
ω = 1.53 rev/s I'm still getting this wrong

Am I not using the correct equation for time?
