Let's say you are on the third story of an apartment building that has a swimming pool. For some insane reason you think it is a good idea to jump off your balcony into the swimming pool. If you are a height h above the ground and a distance r from the pool how far must you be running in terms of h and r to make into the pool and not end up as cement pizza? Are there any applications of this?
