The center of mass of motor bike is C and it is in the shown position just before it is supposed to have taken ***. C' is the position when the bike lands safely ie., the rear part B must land on the road on the other side.
CC' is the range for the flight of the bike. CC' = R
= 11.7' + 2.5' cos 15° + 2.5' Cos 15° = 16.53'
We assume that the angle of projection of center of mass is 15°.
*Range for a two dimensional projectile : R = u² Sin 2Ф / g = u² Sin (215°) / g
u = √(2 R g ) = √(2*16.53 * 9.8 / 0.3048) = 32.6 feet / sec**
We do not consider some other factors like rotation about center of mass, friction etc. while answering this question.
