A 56.0 kg bungee jumper jumps off a bridge and undergoes simple harmonic motion. If the period of oscillation is 11.2 s, what is the spring constant of the bungee cord, assuming it has negligible mass compared to that of the jumper?
 
  A) 17.6 N/m
  B) 21.1 N/m
  C) 28.2 N/m

Question 2

  A) 2.6 Hz
  B) 0.0045 Hz
  C) 0.67 Hz
