Q- A bungee jumper whose mass is 95 kg, has just completed his first bungee jump and is now bouncing up and down at the end of the cord. His oscillations have initial amplitude of 7 m and a period of 4.0 s.
(a) What is the spring constant of the bungee cord?
(b) What is the jumper's maximum speed while oscillating?
(c) From what height above the lowest point did he jump?
(d) If the damping constant due to air resistance is 6.0 kg/s, how many oscillations will he make before his amplitude has decreased to 4.0 m?
