To raise money for a university scholorship fund, the new IT dean has volunteered to bungee jump from a crane if contributions can be found for 10 scholarshipis. To add some interest, the jump will be made from 42 m above a pool of water. A 30 m bungee cord would be attached to the dean. First you must convince the dean that your plan is safe for a person of his mass, 70 kg. The dean knows that as the bungee cord begins to stretch, it will exert a force which has the same properties a the force exerted by a spring. Your plan has the dean stepping off a platform and being in free fall for 30 m before the cord begins to stretch. a) Determine the spring constant of the bungee cord so that it stretches only 12 m, which will just keep the dean out of the water. (Assume that the dean is a point like object). b) Using the result of a), find the dean's speed 7 m above the water.
Cliff divers in acapulco dive into the ocean from h=35m high cliffs. The divers are moving 26 m/s downward in the vertical direction. They travel in a straight line over a distance of 4m through the water before momentarily coming to a rest. Assuming the diver jumps with an initial horizontal velocity of 3.5 m/s. What is the magnitude of the net force on a 70 kg diver?

- The "Giant Swing" at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper end as shown in (Figure 1). Each arm supports a seat suspended from a 5.00-mm-long rod, the upper end of which is fastened to the arm at a point RRR = 1.80 mm from the central shaft. a)Make a free-body diagram of the seat, including the person in it. Draw the force vectors with their tails starting from the center of the dot. The location and orientation of your vectors will be graded.
