A bungee jumper weighing 160 lb ties one end of an elastic rope with a length of 200 ft and stiffness of 10 lb/in in to a bridge and the other end to himself. If the man jumps off the bridge and assuming that the bridge is rigid, determine the amplitude of vibration. The initial position is zero and the initial velocity is 100 ft/s. *
