An elastic cable is to be designed for bungee jumping from a tower 130 ft high. The specifications call for the cable to be 85 ft long when unstretched, and to stretch to a total length of 100 ft when a 750-lb weight is attached to it and dropped from the tower. Determine:
a. The required spring constant k of the cable.
b. How close to the ground a 185-lb man will come if he uses this cable to jump from the tower?
