Question

When you stand on a trampoline, the surface depresses below equilibrium, and the surface pushes up on you, as the data for a real trampoline shown. The linear variation of the force as a function of distance means that we can model the restoring force as that of a spring.

A 65 kg gymnast stands on the trampoline. How much does the center of the trampoline compress?
A. 5.0 cm       B. 10 cm         C. 15 cm       D. 20 cm
