Question
5) The bungee jumper, an 80-kg man, falls from the bridge at A with the bungee cord secured
to his ankles. He falls 20 m before the 17 m length of elastic bungee cord begins to stretch. The
3 m of rope above the elastic bungee cord has no appreciable stretch.
ANS.
3 m
The man is observed to drop a total of 44 m before being projected upward. Model the man as
a particle located at the end of the bungee cord. Neglect any energy loss and compute:
a) the stiffness k (N/m) of the bungee cord
b) the maximum velocity (m/s) of the man during his fall
c) the maximum acceleration (g's) of the man during his fall
a) k = 120 N/m
b) Vmax = 21.4 m/s
c) amax = 26.2 m/s^2 = 2.67 g's
