Question: Tarzan ( mT = 8 3 . 4 kgmT = 8 3 . 4 kg ) swings down from a cliff and has a speed

Tarzan (mT=83.4kgmT=83.4kg) swings down from a cliff and has a speed of14.9m/s14.9m/s just before he impacts Jane (mJ=53.5kgmJ=53.5kg).
Part A - Suppose that Tarzan is able to grab Jane, and the two of them swing together as a single unit. What is the speed, vpvp, of the pair?
Part B - Suppose that Tarzan is unable to grab Jane securely, and she bounces away from him. After the collision, he has a forward speed of 4.60m/s4.60m/s. What is Jane's forward speed, vJvJ?
Part C - What what was the impulse force, FimpFimp, in Part B acting on Jane if the collision time was 0.170s0.170s.
