Consider the standing high jump, but this time the jumper is on the moon, where the local gravitational field is one sixth that on earth: g _moon = g/6.

(a) Using an analysis similar to that developed in Section 10.1.1, derive a formula for the height that a person’s center of gravity can be elevated in the standing high jump on the moon,

(b) If J. C. Evandt were to repeat his record-breaking jump on the moon, what bar height could he clear? To compute this height, you may use the same data and assumptions as were used in the text.
