A 60 kg skier starts from rest at height H = 20 m above the end of a ski-jump ramp (Figure) and leaves the ramp at angle θ = 28o. Neglect the effects of air resistance and assume the ramp is frictionless.

(a) What is the maximum height h of his jump above the end of the ramp?

(b) If he increased his weight by putting on a backpack, would h then be greater less, or the same?
