Right, thanks for your help. I apologize for any confusion I gave you.

Right the simplest equation we could fit was of degree 6 with R^2=.998 so that's the one we chose to work with and I am lost as to what x needs to be although it did just occur to me that it maybe should be the amount of stretch that is going to happen during the fall...

The long equation comes from our data on finding a force deflection curve for the sample cord. We then integrated that function to get the PE for it. But maybe I am confusing what you are saying with something else, this problem has me so twisted it's not even funny.

I believe we are considering it a light loss-less spring because we have only been told to account for the mass of the egg and bag.

Homework Statement Find how long of a cord needed to drop an egg from 14m to come within 5cm of the ground We have determined a force deflection ratio for the cord given a .5m sample. Homework Equations what is x supposed to be here. Is it a number as I have or is it the mass or the...
