A bungee jumper (mass 80 kg) is attached to a 10 m bungee cord attached to the top of a crane. For the first 5 meters of extension, the force exerted by the bungee cord increases by 2 N for every 1 cm. For any further extension, the force increases by only 1.2 N for every 1 cm..

a) Sketch the elastic force vs the length of the bungee cord.

b) What is the maximum extension of the bungee cord in this situation?

Answer #1

So as the weight of 80 kg jumper is = 80*9.8=784N

as force increse by 2N for evry 1 cm so after 5meter extension force = 1000N

and further 1,2 N for every 1cm so graph will look like

b) as the weight of jumper is 784N so,

maximum extension = 784/slope

force 1800 1600 1400 1200 1000 El saticforce 800 600 400 200 -2 2 8 -200 10 12 6 length(m)

extension 784 x2 = 1.568m 1000

using Sig-figs pls. 1. A 55-kg female bungee jumper fastens one end of the cord (made of elastic material) to her ankle and the other end to a bridge. Then she jumps off the bridge. As the cord is stretching, it exerts an elastic force directed up on her. Calculate her acceleration at the instant the cord exerts an elastic force of 825 N [up] on her. 2. During a bungee jump, the velocity of the 55-kg jumper at the...

A daredevil wishes to bungee-jump from a hot-air balloon 73.0 m above a carnival midway. He will use a piece of uniform elastic cord tied to a harness around his body to stop his fall at a point 12.0 m above the ground. Model his body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and a tension force described by Hooke's force law. In a preliminary test, hanging at rest from a 5.00-m length of the cord, the...

A pendulum is constructed from a 4.6 kg mass attached to a strong cord of length 0.9 m also attached to a ceiling. Originally hanging vertically, the mass is pulled aside a small distance of 8.1 cm and released from rest. While the mass is swinging the cord exerts an almost-constant force on it. For this problem, assume the force is constant as the mass swings. How much work in J does the cord do to the mass as the...

Design a "bungee jump" apparatus for adults. A bungee jumper falls from a high platform with two elastic cords tied to the ankles. The jumper falls freely for a while, with the cords slack. Then the jumper falls an additional distance with the cords increasingly tense. Assume that you have cords that are 12 m long, and that the cords stretch in the jump an additional 19 m for a jumper whose mass is 120 kg, the heaviest adult you...
