Answer:
The force is [tex]F_b = 216 \ N [/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the bungee jumper is m = 80 kg
The spring constant is [tex]k = 20 \ N/ m[/tex]
The extension of the rubber bungee cords is x = 50 m
Generally the weight of the jumper is
[tex]W = m * g[/tex]
=> [tex]W = 80 * 9.8 [/tex]
=> tex]W = 784 \ N [/tex]
Generally the returning force of the rubber bungee cords is mathematically represented as
[tex]F = k * x[/tex]
=> [tex]F = 20 * 50 [/tex]
=> [tex]F = 1000 \ N [/tex]
The force to be applied by the bear is
[tex]F_b = F - W[/tex]
=> [tex]F_b = 100 - 784[/tex]
=> [tex]F_b = 216 \ N [/tex]
