The ad says that the minimum weight of a jumper is 120 lb and the maximum weight is 250 lb. It also says that the pogo stick uses a patented system of elastometric rubber springs that provides up to 1200 lbs of thrust, something common helical spring sticks simply cannot achieve (rubber has 10 times the energy storing capability of steel). a. Use Figure P8.32 to estimate the maximum compression of the pogo sticks spring. Include the uncertainty in your estimate. b. What is the effective spring constant of the elastometric rubber springs? Comment on the claim that rubber has 10 times the energy-storing capability of steel. c. Check the ads claim that the maximum height a jumper can achieve is 6 ft.arrow_forward
