A bungee jumper with a mass of 77.5 kg is standing on a platform 65.1 m above a lake. The length of the upstretched bungee cord is 15.3 m. The bungee acts like an ideal spring when stretched with a spring constant of 155.0 N/m. If the bungee jumper falls off the bridge, determine her speed when she is 47.7 m above the lake. Ignore the effects of air friction. Enter a number with two significant digits.

Question

Pls help ASAP. Pls include one diagram and proper sokution with all the steps and circle the final answer. Also,  it is supposed to say unstretched, not upstretched.

lake. The length of the upstretched bungee cord is 15.3 m. The bungee acts like an
ideal spring when stretched with a spring constant of 155.0 N/m. If the bungee
jumper falls off the bridge, determine her speed when she is 47.7 m above the lake.
