You have been hired by a company that is designing a new slide (Chorrera) for an aquatic amusement park. In the conceptual design, a customer is expected to go down the curved end slide and then move horizontally across the bottom. At the end of the slide, the client grasps the end of a 16.0 m long vertical bar that can rotate around its center. After holding on to the bar, the client falls into a pool. When the bar moves (oscillates) to its maximum distance, the customer can drop it and fall into the water. Your task is to determine the height of the slide such that the maximum horizontal distance that the bar moves is 5.0 m, for a 60 kg person. The bar has five times the mass of a 60 kg person. From the physics book, you can find the moment of inertia of the bar under consideration.
