Thank you. I will try this and see if it works. Unfortunately I don't know the modulus of elasticity, but I will try integrating it :)

Should I define it from the unstretched length to the height off the ground? I know that the integral gives me the work done by the bungee, so it would make sense, but I am out of the lab now, and have no way of testing this.

Hello, My physics class is doing the classic egg drop experiment, but with a different twist. We are asked to find the length of the bungee cord needed given a mass and a height to drop it from. The success of the lab is determined by how close we can get to the ground without touching. We...
