I see now, I'm sorry, my teacher had initially informed me that x=l for a mass of 75kg at the bottom the jump. I now see this is not true, you're right that mg=kx at v=0 when the forces are at equilibrium. The big confusion was that I was told not to consider any point after the spring begins to...

Hello, after re-reading your reply I've noticed what seem like some errors. You state that at equilibrium, which is when the position (x) is equal to the length of the rope (l), then x=0. x=0 at the beginning of the jump, when no forces are applied to the mass, if you're using x as position...

cheers

Good morning/evening fellow physics enthusiasts. For my year 12 maths c class, we're doing an assignment on bungee Jumping (Task sheet can be found by googling "maths c bungee jumping" first link will be the relative one (pdf file)). For this assignment, the first question asks you to find...
