The rope is held by a fixed structure from where the mass is dropped. I wanted to find out the force applied to the rope and consequently, to the structure.
Hi
I'm wondering, if I had a mass of 10kg and I dropped it 10 metres, how would I work out how much force is exerted on a rope? The rope is made of rubber bands
I have been asked to build a prototype structure for bungee jumping.
Although, I am struggling with the calculations for the maximum force that the whole structure will have to sustain.
For the bungee jumping rope, I am using elastic bands with constant k.
