Cliff divers at Acapulco jump into the sea
from a cliff 37.1 m high. At the level of the
sea, a rock sticks out a horizontal distance of
11.39 m.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.

With what minimum horizontal velocity
must the cliff divers leave the top of the cliff if
they are to miss the rock?
