During a dunk, a basketball player will elevate their center of mass 70 cm (or more) while jumping off of one leg. What is the strain energy contribution to the energy required to elevate the center of mass given the following parameters? How much energy has to be contributed by active muscle contraction? mass = 82 kg, K leg = 35000N/m, dispacement = 0.11 m.
