Solution Summary
This solution contains step-by-step calculations and justifications to determine the height difference of the crevasse and where the climber lands.
Solution Preview
Please refer to the attachment for the diagram.
a) Once the climber jumps, he behaves like a projectile. In case of a projectile, its horizontal velocity remains constant through out its flight as there is no force acting on it horizontally (neglecting air friction).
