Question

Hi, I need help with this question.

Let the velocity of bungee jumper be given by the following equation: V(t) = sqrt(gk) * tanh[t*sqrt(g/k)] where k = m/c_d and g = 9.81m/s² and m = mass. C_d is the drag coefficient in kg/m and sqrt means "square root".

Use the bisection method to determine the drag coefficient so that a 95-kg bungee jumper has a velocity of 46 m/s after 9 seconds of free fall. Start with initial guesses of 0.1 and 0.6, and iterate until the error E_a falls below 3%.
