A high diver dives off a platform that is 31 m high into a pool that is 4.0 m in diameter. The edge of the platform is directly above the center of the pool. Assume that the diver initially jumps up at an angle of 80 degrees relative to the horizontal (almost, but not quite, straight up) with a total initial velocity of 1 m/s.

What is the horizontal component of the diver's initial velocity?
