please show the simulink model and equations used to create the simulation A team of engineering students is planning to sign up at the Bungee Adventures to jump off giant ft
m tall trees in a Redwood Forest this summer. Here is the Bungee Adventures website: Bungee
Adventures On the other side of every fear is a freedom
Three bungee videos: Tree Bungee Bungee Adventures
The students in this group weigh between kg lbs and kg lbs This is a dangerous adventure.
It is important to analyze the bungee jumping details for a kg mass and a kg mass using a meter
long bungee line prior to jumping off a rope tight between trees in person.
The equation to use for the analysis is Newtons Second Law,
F ma
where F is the sum of the gravitational, aerodynamic drag, and bungee forces acting on the jumper, m is the
mass of the jumper, and a is the acceleration.
Define the distance the jumper falls as the variable x Distance is a function of time, xt The jumpers
velocity and acceleration are then represented as x and x respectively. The Newtons equation to solve for
acceleration is:
x F m
Next, determines the forces making up F
The gravitational force will be the jumpers weight, which is:
W m g
g is about ms at the surface of the earth.
The aerodynamic drag, D will be proportional to the square of the jumpers velocity,
D c x
The constant c can be computed from the ms freefall terminal velocity. At ms the aerodynamic drag is
equal to the weight of the jumper, so c can be determined using:
c D x W ms
Finally, after the jumper has fallen beyond the bungee cord length, the slack in the bungee will be eliminated,
and it will begin to exert an arresting force, B of N for every meter that it is stretched beyond m
B x
The bungee also has a viscous friction force, R once it begins to stretch, which is given by:
R x
Thus, there will be two equations for computing the acceleration. The first equation will be used when the
distance x is less than or equal to m:
x F m W D m
A second equation will be used when x is greater than m:
x F m W D B R m
Simulation:

kg person bungee jumping pt off the tree for the first seconds pt
Add mux pt display pt scope pt and To File pt blocks in the Simulink model to save the
simulation result, the simulation time t distance x pt velocity x pt and acceleration x pt
to a mat file.
Adjust the Simulink models maximum step size to or smaller pt to ensure the simulation will
compute enough points for obtaining accurate maximum and minimum values of the simulation.
Create another Simulink model to simulate a kg person bungee jumping pt off the tree for the
first seconds pt
Add mux pt display pt scope pt and To File pt blocks collect the Simulink simulation data,
