Having successfully survived his first bungee jump, Ron is hanging at rest from the end of the bungee cord.

Having successfully survived his first bungee jump, Ron is hanging at rest from the end of the bungee cord. "I wonder what the spring constant of this bungee cord is?" he asks himself. So he decides to perform an experiment. He pulls himself up about 70 cm and lets go. As he begins to bob up and down, he times his bounces and finds that he completes 4 oscillations in 24.1 s. He knows his mass is 75 kg. 1. What total distance does Ron travel in this time period? 2. What is the spring constant of the bungee cord?
