An Olympic swimmer stands on top of a platform at a height H above a swimming pool. At the moment of jumping into the pool, he jumps with a speed v_0 forming an angle θ with the horizontal, just as shown in the figure. The swimmer reaches a maximum height h measured from the platform to point B. (d) If we assume that when entering the water the athlete follows a straight path traveling 3.50 m before coming to a complete stop in the water and that the frictional force exerted by the water is 206 N. Determine the change in mechanical energy that the athlete experiences when stopping in the water
