Hello members
Please could you help me with solutions for the following two problems that I am stuck with.
King Kong is capable of jumping to a maximum vertical height of 10 m. He picks up Enrico Fermi, who is exactly 10% of Kong's mass, and leaps upwards. To what maximum height can King Kong leap to while he is carrying Enrico?
A skier starts at rest on the top of a strange, smooth, icy hill shaped like a hemisphere. The hill has a constant radius of R. Neglecting friction (it is icy!), show that the skier will leave the surface of the hill and become air-borne at a vertical distance of h = R/3, measured from the top of the hill.
Many thanks.
