- A bungee cord that behaves linearly elastically has an unstressed length L0= 760 mm and a stiffness k = 140 N/m. The cord is attached to two pegs, distance/? = 380 mm apart, and is pulled at its midpoint by a Force P = 80 N (see figure). (a) How much strain energy U is stored in the cord? (b) What is the displacement Scof the point where the load is applied? (c) Compare the strain energy (with the quantity PSC12. Note: The elongation of the cord is not small compared lo its original length.arrow_forwardA bar with a circular cross section having two different diameters d and 2d is shown in the figure. The length of each segment of the bar is L/2T and the modulus of elasticity of the material is E. (a) Obtain a formula for the strain energy U of the bar due to the load P.
