5.1 Use bisection to determine the drag coefficient needed so that an 80-kg bungee jumper has a velocity of 36 m/s after 4s of free fall. Note: The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s. Start with initial guesses of x = 0.1 and x = 0.2 and iter- ate until the approximate relative error falls below 2%. Problem #2 Solve Problem 1 (5.1) using false-position method. 5.1 Use bisection to determine the drag coefficient needed so that an 80-kg bungee jumper has a velocity of 36 m/s after 4s of free fall.
