Was the class she was taking using as a text _University Physics_ by Sears
and Zemansky (and I think another co-author on the later editions, as one
of the two original authors is no longer alive)? That's a problem at the
end of chapter 4, though IIRC it is a generic physic student that has
jumped after flunking a test rather than Lois who must be saved.
