A bungee cord is 30.0 m long and, when stretched a distance x, it exerts a restoring force of magnitude kx. Your father-in-law (mass 94.0kg ) stands on a platform 45.0 m above the ground, and one end of the cord is tied securely to his ankle and the other end to the platform. You have promised him that when he steps off the platform he will fall a maximum distance of only 41.0 mbefore the cord stops him. You had several bungee cords to select from, and you tested them by stretching them out, tying one end to a tree, and pulling on the other end with a force of 410N .


When you do this, what distance will the bungee cord that you should select have stretched?

A 90 kg student jumps off a bridge with a 10-m-long bungee cord tied to his feet. The massless bungee cord has a spring constant of 390 N/m. You can assume that the bungee cord exerts no force until it begins to stretch. How far below the bridge is the student's lowest point? How far below the bridge is the student's resting position after the oscillations have been fully damped?
