**Text Description:**

A man on a motorcycle plans to make a jump as shown in the figure.

**Diagram Description:**

The diagram shows a motorcyclist on a curve-shaped ramp, accelerating upwards into a projectile motion trajectory. The path follows a parabolic arc. The vertical height from the end of the ramp to the top of the arc is labeled as \( h \).

**Problem Statement:**

If he leaves the ramp with a speed of 31.5 m/s and reaches a speed of 29.6 m/s at the top of his trajectory, determine his maximum height (\( h \)) in meters above the end of the ramp. Ignore friction and air resistance.

**Input Field:** 
A text box is provided for the answer in meters.

**Additional Materials:**

A link to "Reading" is available for further study and reference.
