I understand that. The problem is asking for an equation for K derived from the given information. As I understand it K is the spring constant.
Thus, how would you derive an equation to figure out the unstretched length and the spring constant so that the bungee jumper does not hit the ground?
I have a problem for an engineering class I am taking. It reads:
Derive an equation for k using the weight of a bungee jumper (170 lbs) the unstretched length of the cord (unknown) and the height of the dam from which the jumper is jumping off of (722 ft)
What I have come up with is...
