Answer to Problem 92A

The spring constant of bungee cord is 0.57N/m

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Mass of bungee cord: 68kg

Old Length of bungee cord: 540m

New Length of bungee cord: 1710m

Formula used:

The formula to calculate the spring constant,k=Fx=mgx

Where,

  k = Spring constant

  F = Force

  x = Length of Stringg = Gravitational Force

Calculation:

Here, the old length and new length of the bungee cord is given.

Hence,formula can be written as,

  k = (mg)(newlength-oldlength)

  k=(68kg)×(9.8N/kg)1710-540

  k=(666.4)(1170)

  k =

  0.57N/m

Conclusion:

Hence, the spring constant is 0.57N/m .
