Firstly calculate the time taken to do a whole parabola from his starting point to the next time he passes the board. This gives you a value of 0.5 seconds to complete the rest of the journey. Since the velocity is symmetrical u=17.1 m/s.

Wait sorry, how do you calculate the first part to get .5 seconds?

Just use that formula subbing in t=4, Uy=17.1 and you'll get -10.

t=4 because he is in the in the air for 4 seconds, insinuating at 4 seconds he will hit the water. Subbing in t=4 will give you the y displacement from the cliff (ie where he was standing)

I tried doing your first question and got 0.012 newtons o_O
F = mv^2/r
v = 2pi0.25/6.52
m = 0.05
r = 0.25
= 0.012 newtons.
Where did you get this question from?
I think it's wrong cause 8.5 newtons when dealing with such a slow speed and low mass doesn't sound right
or maybe i'm just doing something wrong.

Pretty sure it was cheltenham girls or some shit. But yeah that's what I got aswell, so I think we're right and the paper is wrong.

The question isn't wrong, it may just be trying to troll anyone as mentions 'closest to that required' :)
