A bungee cord is 30.0 m long and, when stretched a distance x,it exerts a restoring force of magnitude kx. Your father-in-law(mass 93.0 kg ) stands on a platform 45.0 m above the ground, andone end of the cord is tied securely to his ankle and the other endto the platform. You have promised him that when he steps off theplatform he will fall a maximum distance of only 41.0 m before thecord stops him. You had several bungee cords to select from, andyou tested them by stretching them out, tying one end to a tree,and pulling on the other end with a force of 420 N .
When you do this, what distance will the bungee cord that youshould select have stretched?
