Question
A 66.8-kg bungee jumper is standing on a tall platform (ho = 48.2 m), as indicated in the figure. The bungee cord has a natural length of
Lo = 10.0 m and, when stretched, behaves like an ideal spring with a spring constant of k = 51.0 N/m. The jumper falls from rest, and it is
assumed that the only forces acting on him are his weight and, for the latter part of the descent, the elastic force of the bungee cord.
What is his speed when he is at the following heights above the water: (a) ha = 38.2 m, and (b) hg = 14.5 m?
-A
Lo =10.0 m
ho =48.2 m
hA = 38.2 m
hp =14.5 m
