Question: 5 . ( 2 0 points ) A bungee jumper with a mass of 7 2 . 3 kg ties one end of an elastic

5.(20 points) A bungee jumper with a mass of 72.3 kg ties one end of an elastic rope to a bridge and the other end to himself. The rope has a length of \( L=64.1\mathrm{~m}\), and a stiffness per unit length of \( q=5\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\). Assuming the bridge is rigid, and that the rope has internal damping of \(50\mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{s}/\mathrm{m}\), determine the position of the bungee jumper about his static equilibrium position for all time. Hint: Consider when the jumper is a distance \( L \) below the bridge as time \( t=0\mathrm{~s}\).
