An 80.0-kg bungee jumper is enjoying an afternoon of jumps. The jumper’s first oscillation has an amplitude of 10.0 m and a period of 5.00 s. Treating the bungee cord as a spring with no damping, calculate each of the following:

a) the spring constant of the bungee cord,


b) the bungee jumper’s maximum speed during the oscillation, and


c) the time for the amplitude to decrease to 2.00 m (with air resistance providing the damping of the oscillations at 7.50 kg/s).
