Use bisection to determine the drag coefficient needed so that an 80-kg bungee jumper has a velocity

Question:

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/s2. Start with Initial guesses of xi = 0.1 and xu = 0.2 and iterate until the approximate relative error falls below
