A bungee jumper, mass 80 kg, falls from a bridge with a 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 cord has no appreciable stretch. The man is observed to drop a total of 44 m before being projected upward. Neglect any energy loss and calculate: (a) The stiffness, k , of the bungee cord (b) The max velocity of the man during the fall. (c) The max acceleration of the man. Treat the man as a particle located at the end of the cord.

I want clear answer and reasonalbe of this question 

steps please

A bungee jumper, mass 80 kg, falls from a bridge with a 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 cord has no appreciable stretch. The man is observed
to drop a total of 44 m before being projected upward. Neglect any energy loss and
calculate:
(a) The stiffness, k , of the bungee cord
(b) The max velocity of the man during the fall.
(c) The max acceleration of the man.
Treat the man as a particle located at the end of the cord.
