(a) Calculate the vertical take-off speed necessary to achieve this height. (b) The competitor must also have some forwards (horizontal) motion in order to make the jump othewise he would just jump straight up and down and not clear the bar. Calculate the take-off velocity vector (speed and angle to the horizontal) a competitor would require to successfully make the jump. Clearly explain any assumptions you make in your analysis.
