40 POINTS FOR THIS: The standing vertical jump is a good test of an athlete's strength and fitness. The athlete goes into a deep crouch, then extends his legs rapidly; when his legs are fully extended, he leaves the ground and rises to his highest height. It is the force of the ground on the athlete during the extension phase that accelerates the athlete to the final speed with which he leaves the ground. A good jumper can exert a force on the ground equal to twice his weight.

If his crouch is 55 cm deep, how far off the ground does he rise?

I don't even know where to begin solving for this.
