A 79.2-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 1.30 x 10³ N/m. He accidentally slips and falls freely for 0.570 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? Number i Units

Question
A 79.2-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 \(1.30 \times 10^3 \, \text{N/m}\). He accidentally slips and falls freely for 0.570 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?
