Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Kinematics of Particles: Problem 2_122

2/122 The diver leaves the platform with an initial upward speed of 2.5 m/s. A stationary camera on the ground is programmed to track the diver throughout the dive by rotating the lens to keep the diver centered in the captured image. Plot \(\dot{\theta}\) and \(\ddot{\theta}\) as functions of time for the camera over the entire dive and state the values of \(\dot{\theta}\) and \(\ddot{\theta}\) at the instant the diver enters the water. Treat the diver as a particle which has only vertical motion. Additionally, state the maximum magnitudes of \(\dot{\theta}\) and \(\ddot{\theta}\) during the dive and the times at which they occur.
