Design a project to determine the specifications (unstretched length and spring constant k) for the elastic cord to be used at a bungee-jumping facility. Participants are to jump from a platform 50m above the ground. When they rebound, they must avoid an obstacle that extends 4 m below the point at which they jump. During the rebound it is assumed that there is some air resistance due to water droplets of 3500 Joules. In determining the specifications for the cord, establish reasonable the safety limits for the minimum distances by which participants must avoid the ground and obstacle. Account for the fact that participants will have different weight. (if needed, specify a maximum allowable weight for participants)
