QUESTION:

Problem 2Q

A bungee jumper momentarily comes to rest at the bottom of the dive before he springs back upward. At that moment, is the bungee jumper in equilibrium? Explain.

ANSWER:

Step-by-step solution

Step 1 of 1

The rope of bungee jumping is like a spring.

When the net force acting on an object is zero the object is said to be in translational equilibrium. The bungee jumping rope is like a spring. When the load is suspended, the rope stretches until the net force acting on the object is zero. When the weight of the object W and restoring force of the spring F is equal the object comes to rest. This point is the lowest point of the bungee jumper, there the object is in equilibrium.
