- 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?

The human femur has a compressive strength of 160 MPa, whereas the horse femur has a compressive strength of 140 MPa. What is the effective cross-sectional area of the femur in a horse? (Note: Since the center of the femur contains bone marrow, which has essentially no compressive strength, the effective cross-sectional area is about 80% of the total cross-sectional area.) cm2arrow_forwardno ai pleasearrow_forward
