What is the formula for determining how close to the ground a bungy jumper will be at maximum stretch when you have the following variables?
Height of bungee tower: H
height of jumper: h
Spring constant of cord: k
Weight of jumper: w
Length of cord: L
Also if you could tell me a likely actual value for k it would be appreciated.
For eg.
h would be like 1.8 meters
H something like 100 meters
Weight 80 kgs
k 100 N/m ?
L 30 meters
So all relevant info. When they jump off will they hit the ground? Hang to 50 meters above ground? etc
Need formula for that distance D
