Question

Transcribed Image Text:A jumper executes a standing jump from a platform that is moving upwards
with constant speed Vp.
(a) Derive a formula for the maximum elevation of the jumper's center of
gravity in terms of the crouch depth, c, the equivalent force to weight
ratio, Fequiv/ W, the platform speed, Vp, and other relevant parameters.
The elevation of the center of gravity is to be measured with respect to
a stationary frame of reference (i.e., one not attached to the platform).
(b) If the crouch depth is 18 inches, the ratio Fequiv/ W is 2, and the platform
speed is 5 ft/s, compute the elevation of the center of gravity.

The magnitude of the force on a particle increases as the cube of the distance from that point, that is, F∝ r3, if the distance from the P to the position of the particle is r. It has been determined that the constant of proportionality is 0.23 N/m3, i.e. the magnitude of the force on a particle can be written as 0.23r3, when the particle is at a distance r from the force center. Find the magnitude of the potential energy, in joules, of a particle subjected to this force when the particle is at a distance 0.21 m from point P assuming the potential energy to be zero when the particle is at P.
