A sky diver plans to bungee jump from a tower 74.0 m above the ground. She plans to use a uniform elastic cord, tied to a harness around
her body, to stop her fall at a point 11.0 m above the water. Model her body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and
obeying Hooke's law. In a preliminary test she finds that when hanging at rest from a 5.00 m length of the cord, her body weight stretches
it by 1.25 m. She will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the tower.
(a) What length of cord should she use?
m
(b) What maximum acceleration will she experience?
m/s²

A block of mass m = 2.15 kg slides along a horizontal table
with speed vo= 1.00 m/s. At x = 0, it hits a spring with
spring constant k = 73.00 N/m, and it also begins to
experience a friction force.
The coefficient of friction is given by μ = 0.100. How far has
the spring compressed by the time the block first
momentarily comes to rest?
