WP1: One end of a Bungee is tied to a bridge that is 120 feet above water. The other end of the Bungee is tied via padded ankle straps to a jumper's ankle. The jumper jumps and the Bungee cord extends like a rubber band and the jumper bounces up and down until coming to a halt. The Bungee cord elongation 150% of its length, meaning that the Bungee cord extended length Will be its original length plus 1.5 times of its original length. Knowing that that the jumper's height is not more 7 feet, what should the original length of the Bungee cord be to assure that the jumper under any condition stays at least 10 feet above water? Solution: Let consider the following bridge of 120 height above water.
