Aperson 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]

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
