Two trees have perfectly straight trunks and are both growing perpendicular to the flat horizontal ground beneath them. The sides of the trunks that face each other are separated by 1.3 m. A squirrel makes three jumps in rapid succession. First, he leaps from the foot of one tree to a spot that is 1.0 m above the ground on the other tree.Then he jumps back to first tree, landing on it at a spot that is 1.7m above the ground Finally, he leaps back to the other tree, now landing at a spot that is 2.5 m above the ground. What is the magnitude of the squirrel's displacement?

A pole is standing erect on the ground which is horizontal. The tip of the poke is tied tight with a rope of length sqrt(12) m to a point on the ground. If the rope is making 30^(@) angle with the horizontal , then the height of the pole is
