A rock climber, of mass 49.0 kg, having pegged her 8.00 m long rope to the rock face at her height, loses her footing and falls freely and vertically until her fall is checked by the rope which stretches 12% of its original length. Neglect the mass of the rope and air resistance. Assuming the rope behaves like a spring, what is its spring constant?

A rock climber hangs freely from a nylon rope that is 16 m long and has a diameter of 8.1 mm. If the rope stretches 4.2 cm, what is the mass of the climber? Young's modulus for nylon is Y=0.37 X 10^10 N/m^2 . solve step by step
Question 8 The nylon rope from which a mountain climber is suspended has a force constant of 1.40 x 104 N/m. How much would this rope stretch to break the climber's fall if he free-falls 2.16 m before the rope runs out of slack, given his mass plus and the mass of his equipment are 91.6 kg? Hint: Use conservation of energy. You can assume the amount the rope stretches is small compared to the distance of his fall. Select...
