In an amusement park ride, a 65 kg person sits in a 130 kg cage, which in turn is attached to the end of a bungee cord, and also anchored to the ground. The top of the bungee cord is then raised until it has stretched 8 meters. The anchor is released, and the cage (with the person inside) is propelled into the air. The bungee cord has a spring constant of 530 N/m (a) How far above its anchored height will the cage and person go? h = Number Units (b) What is the maximum speed experienced by the rider on this ride? (Note: the equilibrium position of the system is not at the height where the bungee cord is completely unstretched) Umax = Number Units (c) What is the maximum acceleration experienced by the rider on this ride? amax = Number Units (c) For safety reasons, the rider should not be subjected to accelerations greater than 1.8 g What is the minimum mass required for the rider? m mìn = Number Units
