A bungee cord is 30.0 m long and, when stretched a distance x, it exerts a restoring force equal to kx (meaning it acts like a spring). Your father, mass 95.0 kg, stands on a platform 45.0 m above the ground. One end of the bungee cord is tied securely to your father. You have promised him that when he steps off the platform, he will fall a maximum distance of 41.0 m before the cord stops him. You had several bungee cords to choose from and tested them each by attaching one end to a tree,
