    Default How do you calculate the average jump height based on gravity and other forces?

    I was a bit curious as to how high you would be able to jump on other planets, but I don't really know how you calculate this;
    for example, I am 6'2" tall (1,85 m) and weigh 200 lbs (91 kg), and usually jump about one foot (0,30 m) - how much force would I use for this?
    And how would gravity and air friction affect my jump height?
