Required information
A bungee jumper leaps from a bridge and undergoes a series of oscillations. Assume g = 9.78 m/s².
If a 60.0-kg jumper uses a bungee cord that has an unstretched length of 30.1 m and she jumps from a height of 45.2 m above a river,
coming to rest just a few centimeters above the water surface on the first downward descent, what is the period of the oscillations?
Assume the bungee cord follows Hooke's law.
