Use bisection to determine the drag coefficient needed so that an 80-kg bungee jumper has a velocity of 36 m/s after 4 s of free fall. Note: The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2. Start with initial guesses of xl = 0.1 and xu = 0.2 and iterate until the approximate relative error falls below 2%.
