Question
A jumper executes a standing jump from a platform that is moving upwards
with constant speed Vp.
(a) Derive a formula for the maximum elevation of the jumper's center of
gravity in terms of the crouch depth, c, the equivalent force to weight
ratio, Fequiv/ W, the platform speed, Vp, and other relevant parameters.
The elevation of the center of gravity is to be measured with respect to
a stationary frame of reference (i.e., one not attached to the platform).
(b) If the crouch depth is 18 inches, the ratio Fequiv/ W is 2, and the platform
speed is 5 ft/s, compute the elevation of the center of gravity.
