Chapter 13.2, Problem 13.62P
An elastic cable is to be designed for bungee jumping from a tower 130 ft high. The specifications call for the cable to be 85 ft long when unstretched, and to stretch to a total length of 100 ft when a 600-lb weight is attached to it and dropped from the tower. Determine (a) the required spring constant k of the cable, (b) how close to the ground a 186-lb man will come if he uses this cable to jump from the tower.

1.A person is to be released from rest on a swing pulled away from the vertical by an angle of 20.0°. The two frayed ropes of the swing are 2.75 m long, and will break if the tension in either of them exceeds 355 N. (a) What is the maximum weight the person can have and not break the ropes? (b)If the person is released at an angle greater than 20.0°, does the maximum weight increase, decrease, or stay the same? (c)Solve in Newton Law, Conversation Law, and Work-Kinetic Theorem.
To test the deflection of the uniform 125-kg beam the 70-kg boy exerts a pull of 100 N on the rope rigged as shown. Compute the force supported by the pin at the hinge O.
PROBLEM 1
The continuous cable that wraps around the small pulleys at A, B, C, and D has a length of 8m.
The springs are both unstretched when d = 4m. Neglect the weight of the pulleys and cords.
If the mass of each block is 25 kg and it causes each spring to be stretched by 500 mm,
determine 1) the angle 0 when the 2 blocks are applied; (2) the tension on the continuous
cable; and (3) the spring constant k (N/m). Use g= 9.81 m/s².
