A 200-lb bungee jumper jumps from a bridge 130 ft above a river. The bungee cord has an unstretched length of 60 ft and has a spring constant k = 14 lb/ft. (a) How far above the river is the jumper when the cord brings him to a stop? (b) What maximum force does the cord exert on him? (c) What is the maximum velocity does the jumper reach?
