Two pole-vaulters just clear the bar at the same height. the first lands at a speed of 8.27 m/s, while the second lands at a speed of 8.71 m/s. the first vaulter clears the bar at a speed of 0.742 m/s. ignore air resistance and friction and determine the speed at which the second vaulter clears the bar.
