A person is planning a bungee jump from a 40 meter high bridge. Under the bridge is a river with crocodiles, so the person does

not want to be submerged into the water. The rubber rope fastened to the ankles has a spring constant of 3,600 N/m per meter length. Thus one meter length of rope will have a spring constant of 3,600 N/m, two meters of rope will have a spring constant of 1,800 N/m, three meters of rope will have a spring constant of 1,200 N/m and so forth. The distance from the ankles to the top of the head is 175 cm, and the person has a mass of 80 kg. Calculate: a. b. c. how long the rope should be [m] how much deflection the rope experiences [m] how much impact force the bungee jumper experiences [N]

Answer:

a. l = 19.7m, b. 18.55m, c. Impact Force = 3889.84 N

Explanation:

The total energy of the system when the person is at top of the bridge is

Potential energy = mgh, Kinetic energy = 0

The total energy of the  system when the person reaches just above the surface

Potential energy = 0, Kinetic energy = 0, Spring energy = ½ K X2, where k is the spring constant and X is the deflection

Applying conservation of energy

mgh = 0 + 0 + ½ K X²

80 x 9.81 x 40 = ½ (3600/l) X²

31392 = ½ (3600/l) X²

We can also conclude that

l+ X + 1.75 = 40

l + X = 38.25

a. <u>Substitute the value of x from above into the energy conversion expression</u>

31392 = ½ (3600/l)(38.25 - l)²

31392 x 2/3600 = (38.25 + l² – 2l(38.25))/l

17.44l = l2 – 76.5l + 38.25²

l² – 76.5l – 17.44l +1463.0625 = 0

Solving for l we get

L = 19.7

Hence, length of the rope is 19.7m

b. <u>The deflection is calculated by using the relation between l and X</u>

L + X = 38.25

X = 38.25 – 19.7 = 18.55m

c. <u>The impact force is calculated using the impact force formula which relates the impact force with the deflection</u>

F = KX

F = (3600/l) . X

F = (3600/19.7) . (18.55) = 3889.84 N

Thus, the impact force is 3889.84 N

Elden [556K]

Answer:

In a work site with more than one set of management and workers the Health and  safety officers in each set  should have access to the information, training and controls needed to avoid workplace accidents

Explanation:

The primary aim of a health and  safety officer in a workplace is to prevent accidents,injuries and work-related sickness from occurring in the work site by creating and implementing health and safety policies according to international standards and also ensure that these policies are implemented  by the sets of management and workers/staffs of the work site.  to achieve these they therefore should have access to the information,training and controls needed to avoid workplace accidents
