3/129 A 175-lb pole vaulter carrying a uniform 16-ft, 10-lb pole approaches the jump with a velocity v and manages to barely clear the bar set at a height of 18 ft. As he clears the bar, his velocity and that of the pole are essentially zero. Calculate the minimum possible value of v required for him to make the jump. Both the horizontal pole and the center of gravity of the vaulter are 42 in. above the ground during the approach.

    Explanation:

    U'1-2 = 0

    Using the equation

    T1 + Vg1 = T2 + Vg2

    Take dactum Vg1 = 0 at ground level

    T1 = [ 1/2 * (175 + 10) / 32.2] * V^2

    T1 = 2.87V^2

    T2 = 0

    Vg1 = (175 + 10) * (42/12) = 648ft. lb

    Vg2 = 175 (18) + 10 (8) = 3230ft. lb

    Therefore, 2.87V^2 + 648 = 0 + 3230

    3230 - 648 = 2.87V^2

    2582 = 2.87V^2

    V^2 = 2582/2.87

    V ^2 = 889.65

    V = Sqrt (889.65)

    V = 29.99 = approximately 30ft/s
