Create one Simulink embedded function model to simulate the bungee jumper’s distance (x)

vs. t, the velocity (x’) vs. t and acceleration (x’’) vs. t for the first 500 seconds of the jump.

Bungee Jump Simulation (Second order Ordinary Differential Equations)
A team of engineering students is planning a bungee jumping trip. One of the preparation tasks is
to write a MATLAB program to simulate high-altitude bungee jumping using a 150-meter bungee
line.
The purpose of the simulation is to estimate the peak acceleration, velocity, and drop distance of
the jump to ensure that the arresting force of the bungee is not too great and the jump off point is
high enough so that no one will hit the ground.
The equation to use for the analysis is Newton's Second Law,
F = ma
where F is the sum of the gravitational, aerodynamic drag, and bungee forces acting on the jumper, m is
the mass of the jumper (which is 70 kg), and a is the acceleration. Define the distance the jumper falls
as the variable x (which is a function of time, x(t)). The jumper's velocity and acceleration are then
represented as x' and x", respectively. The Newton's equation to solve for acceleration:
x" = F/m
Next, determines the forces making up F. The gravitational force will be the jumper's weight, which is:
W = mg
= (70 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 686 N
The aerodynamic drag, D, will be proportional to the square of the jumper's velocity, D = c (x')², but the
value of the constant c is unknown. However, experienced jumpers know that the terminal velocity in a
free-fall is about 55 m/s. At that speed, the aerodynamic drag is equal to the weight of the jumper, so c
can be determined using:
C = D / (x')²
= (686 N) (55 m/s)²
= 0.227 kg/m
Finally, after the jumper has fallen beyond the bungee cord length, the slack in the bungee will be
eliminated, and it will begin to exert an arresting force, B, of 10 N for every meter that it is stretched
beyond 150 m.
The bungee also has a viscous friction force, R, once it begins to stretch, which is given by:

The bungee also has a viscous friction force, R, once it begins to stretch, which is given by:
R = -1.5 x'
Thus, there will be two regions for computing the acceleration. The first equation will be used when
the distance x is less than or equal to 150 m:
x"=F/m = (W-D) / m = (686 -0.227 (x')²) / 70
A second equation will be used when x is greater than 150 m:
x" = F/m = (W-D-B-R)/m = (686 - 0.227 (x')² - 10 (x - 150) — 1.5 x') / 70

the velocity (x') vs. t and acceleration (x") vs. t, to a .mat file.
