Anyone knows how to solve question h)? I tried (2FT-mg)/m, doesn't work!!!

12/14 points | Previous Answers MI4 7.2.024 My Notes Ask Your Teac Design a "bungee jump" apparatus for adults. A bungee jumper falls from a high platform with two elastic cords tied to the ankles. The jumper falls freely for a while, with the cords slack. Then the jumper falls an additional distance with the cords increasingly tense. Assume that you have cords that are 13 m long, and that the cords stretch in the jump an additional 23 m for a jumper whose mass is 140 kg, the heaviest adult you will allow to use your bungee jump (heavier customers would hit the ground) Two cords slack initiall (a) It will help you a great deal in your analysis to make a series of 5 simple diagrams, like a comic strip, showing the platform, the jumper, and the two cords at the following times in the fall and the rebound 1 while cords are slack (shown here as an example to get you started) 2 when the two cords are just starting to stretch 3 when the two cords are half stretched 4 when the two cords are fully stretched 5 when the two cords are again half stretched, on the way up On each diagram, draw and label vectors representing the forces acting on the jumper, and the jumper's velocity. Make the relative lengths of the vectors reflect their relative magnitudes. 7 ng (b) At what instant is there the greatest tension in the cords? (How do you know?) O When the person has fallen between 13 m and the bottom. At the bottom, when the person has fallen 36 m. O When the person has fallen 13 m. O When the person has fallen between 0 m and 13 m. O At the top, when the person has fallen 0 m (c) What is the jumper's speed at this instant, when the tension is greatest in the cords? v=0 (d) Is the jumper's momentum changing at this instant or not? (That is, is dpy/dt nonzero or zero?) m/s O Yes, the jumper's momentum is changing No, the jumper's momentum is not changing (e) Which of the following statements is a valid basis for answering part (d) correctly? Since the momentum is zero, the momentum isn't changing After a very short time the momentum will be upward (and nonzero) A very short time ago the momentum was downward (and nonzero) Since the net force must be zero when the momentum is zero, and since dpy/dt is equal to the net force, dpy/dt must be zero. If the momentum weren't changing, the momentum would remain zero forever. Check to make sure that the magnitudes of the velocity and force vectors shown in your diagram number 4 are consistent with your analysis of parts (c), (d), and (e) (f) Focus on this instant of greatest tension and, starting from a fundamental principle, determine the spring stiffness ks for each of the two cords ks = 93.4 N/m (9) What is the maximum tension that each one of the two cords must support without breaking? (This tells you what kind of cords you need to buy.) Fr= 2147.5 (h) What is the maximum acceleration lay-Idvy/dt! (in "g's") that the jumper experiences? (Note that ldpy/dtl = mldvyatl if v is small compared to c.) lay-20.9 g's (acceleration in m/s2 divided by 9.8 m/s2)

Explanation / Answer

h)

What you're doing wrong is that you are entering the a in the answer, whereas you need to divide it by 9.81(i.e. g) first before entering it as an answer.

Try doing it with a = (2FT-mg)/m.

If that doesn't work, try as below.

The maximum acceleration a

= (2FT)/m

= (2*2147.5)/140 = 30.68 m/s2

In terms of g:

= 30.68/9.81 = 3.13 g's
