A common device for entertaining a toddler is a jump seat
Chapter , Problem 110(choose chapter or problem)
A common device for entertaining a toddler is a jump seat that hangs from the horizontal portion of a doorframe via elastic cords (Fig. 15-63). Assume that only one cord is on each side in spite of the more realistic arrangement shown. When a child is placed in the seat, they both descend by a distance ds as the cords stretch (treat them as springs). Then the seat is pulled down an extra distance dm and released, so that the child oscillates vertically, like a block on the end of a spring. Suppose you are the safety engineer for the manufacturer of the seat. You do not want the magnitude of the childs acceleration to exceed 0.20g for fear of hurting the childs neck. If dm $ 10 cm, what value of ds corresponds to that acceleration magnitude?
