The length of nylon rope from which a mountain climber is suspended has a force constant of 1.20 ✕ 104 N/m. (a) What is the frequency (in Hz) at which he bounces, given that his mass plus the mass of his equipment is 69.0 kg? 2.098 Correct: Your answer is correct. Hz (b) How much would this rope stretch (in cm) to break the climber's fall if he free-falls 2.00 m before the rope runs out of slack? Hint: Use conservation of energy. 53.4 Correct: Your answer is correct. cm (c) Repeat both parts of this problem in the situation where twice this length of nylon rope is used. frequency (in Hz) 1.48 Correct: Your answer is correct. Hz stretch length (in cm)

A 86.8-kg climber is scaling the vertical wall of a mountain. His safety rope is made of a material that, when stretched, behaves like a spring with a spring constant of 1.76 x 103 N/m. He accidentally slips and falls freely for 0.580 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 mountain climber of mass m=75.0 kg slips during a climb and begins to fall freely. She forgot her rope and had to use an ideal spring. The spring is hanging vertically with an unstretched equilibrium position at the origin, x=0. On her descent, she grabs the end of the spring which has a spring constant of k= 981 N/m. Ignore friction, air resistance, and any other dissipative effects. a) The climbers velocity when she grabbed the spring was 20.0...
