Given :
A mountain climber started his climb at 50 feet above see level .
He then raised 3 feet to rest in his cot to make his final 10 feet climb down.
To Find :
An expression to find his position relative to his final position.
Solution :
Let , final position is h .
h is given by :
[tex]h=\text{(Initial position)-(initial descended)+(height raised to rest)-(final descended)}\\\\h=50 -28 +3-10\ feet\\\\h=15\ feet[/tex]
So , his final position is 15 feet .
Hence , this is the required solution .
