A 75 kg mountain climber hangs stationary from a bungee cordover a steep incline of 80â—¦ (nearly a vertical wall). The bungeecord has a Hooke constant of k = 550 N/m and is parallel to theincline.
(a) If the climber has a coefficient of friction μs = 0.9 withthe incline, how much will the rope deform? Assume that the maximumamount of friction (and thus the minimum deformation).
(b) Suppose the climber loses their grip, reducing thiscoefficient to only μs = 0.1. Once they come to a stop, what is therope’s new deformation? Again assume the maximum amount offriction.
