41. (II) Chris jumps off a bridge with a bungee cord (a heavy stretchable cord) tied around his ankle, Fig. 6–42. He falls for 15 m before the bungee cord begins to stretch. Chris's mass is 75 kg and we assume the cord obeys Hooke's law, F = -kx, with k = 55 N/m. If we neglect air resistance, estimate what distance d below the bridge Chris's foot will be before coming to a stop. Ignore the mass of the cord (not realistic, however) and treat Chris as a particle. (b) (c) 15 m FIGURE 6-42 d Problem 41. (a) Bungee jumper about to jump. (b) Bungee cord at its unstretched length. (c) Maximum stretch Ay = ? y= 0 of cord.

4. When a particle falls through the air, its initial acceleration a = g diminishes until it is zero, and thereafter it falls at a constant velocity vf . If this variation of the acceleration can be expressed as g(v; -v²) a determine the time needed for the velocity to become v < Vf. Initially the particle falls from rest.
