5.3 Exercise 13

Avg difficulty 2.5

(a) By how much does a 65.0-kg mountain climber stretch her 0.800-cm diameter nylon rope when they hang 35.0 m below a rock outcropping? (b) Does the answer seem to be consistent with what you have observed for nylon ropes? Would it make sense if the rope were actually a bungee cord?
