Hi everyone! I am recently doing an assignment for my broadening course. But I really don't know how to answer these questions as I only have basic knowledge for physics. Could anyone help me out? The questions are as follow:
1. Explain why iron chain is not used as bungee jump string instead of an elastic cord.
2. If two identical bungee jump strings are tied to the jumper instead of one bungee jump string, what is the effect on the time for the jumper to bounce up from the minimum point to the equilibrium point for the first time? You may assume that Hooke's law is valid in the mentioned strings.
3. John says, 'It is safe to use a bungee jump string which can only provide a maximum tension (restoring force) just equal to the weight of person.' Comment on John's statement.
Thanks again for help :]
