Physics

A 58.0 kg bungee jumper is standing on a tall platform (ho =46.0 m) as shown in the diagram. The bungee cord has an unstrainedlength of Lo = 9.00 m, and when stretched, behaves like an idealspring with a spring constant of k = 61.0 N/m. The jumper fallsfrom rest, and the only forces acting on him are gravity and, forthe latter part of the descent, the elastic force of the bungeecord. What is his speed when he is at the following heights abovethe water? (a) hA = 37.0 m and (b) hB = 15.0 m? Ignore the mass ofthe bungee cord.
