To apply Newton’s second law and the theorem of conservation of energy to solve kinetic problems. A bungee jumper wants to jump off the edge of a bridge that spans a river below. The jumper has a mass m, and the surface of the bridge is a height h above the water. The bungee cord, which has lengthL when unstretched, will first straighten and then stretch as the jumper falls.Assume the following: The bungee cord behaves as an ideal spring once it begins to stretch and has spring constant k. The jumper does not actually jump but simply steps off the edge of the bridge and falls straight downward. The jumper's height is negligible compared to the length of the bungee cord. Thus, the jumper can be treated as a point particle. Use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. How far below the bridge, d, will the jumper eventually be hanging, once the jumper stops oscillating and comes finally to rest? Assume that the jumper does not touch the water. Express your answer in…
An elastic cable is to be designed for bungee jumping from a tower 130 ft high. The specifications call for the cable to be 85 ft long when unstretched, and to stretch to a total length of 100 ft when a 600-lb weight is attached to it and dropped from the tower. Determine (a) the required spring constant k of the cable, (b) how close to the ground a 186-lb man will come if he uses this cable to jump from the tower.
