Problem

A stunt motorcyclist jumps off a ramp angled at 37∘37^{\circ} to land on a raised platform 4.8 m4.8\,\text{m} high. The horizontal distance from the ramp edge to the platform edge is 20 m20\,\text{m}. If the motorcycle just clears the edge of the platform to land safely, find the launch speed. (Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2}, sin⁡37∘=0.6\sin 37^{\circ} = 0.6, cos⁡37∘=0.8\cos 37^{\circ} = 0.8)
