Question:

The diver weighs \(150 \mathrm{lb}\) and, while holding himself rigid, strikes the end of the wooden diving board. Determine the maximum height \(h\) from which he can jump from rest onto the board so that the maximum bending stress in the wood does not exceed \(6 \mathrm{ksi}\). The board has a thickness of \(1.5 \mathrm{in}\). and width of \(1.5 \mathrm{ft} . E_{\mathrm{w}}=1.8\left(10^{3}\right) \mathrm{ksi}\).
