The length of nylon rope from which a mountain climber is suspended has a force constant of 1.1 × 10^4 N/m.

Part (a) What is the frequency, in Hz, at which he bounces, given his mass and the mass of his equipment is 86 kg?

Part (b) How much would this rope stretch, in centimeters, to break the climber's fall if he free-falls 1.6 m before the rope starts to stretch?

Part (c) What is the frequency, in Hz, at which he bounces, given his mass and the mass of his equipment is 86 kg if the rope is twice as long?

Part (d) How much would this rope stretch, in centimeters, to break the climber's fall if he free-falls 1.6 m before the rope runs out of slack if the rope was twice the length?

An 85.4-kg climber is scaling the vertical wall of a mountain. His safety rope is made of nylon that, when stretched, behaves like a spring with a spring constant of 1.19 103 N/m. He accidentally slips and falls freely for 0.815 m before the rope runs out of slack. How much is the rope stretched when it breaks his fall and momentarily brings him to rest?

**A crate with a mass of 45 kg is suspended from a massless rope that runs vertically upward over a light pulley. The other end of the rope is connected to a 35 kg crate, which lies on a tabletop. The coefficients of the kinetic friction and the static friction between the crate and the surface are 0.3 and 0.5 respectively. An applied force, F, pulls the 35 kg crate to the right. In the first case, the applied force...

A 75 kg mountain climber hangs stationary from a bungee cord over a steep incline of 80◦ (nearly a vertical wall). The bungee cord has a Hooke constant of k = 550 N/m and is parallel to the incline. (a) If the climber has a coefficient of friction μs = 0.9 with the incline, how much will the rope deform? Assume that the maximum amount of friction (and thus the minimum deformation). (b) Suppose the climber loses their grip, reducing...
