Question

Recall that the velocity of the free-falling bungee jumper can be computed analytically as:

v(t)=gmcdtanh(gcdmt)v(t)=\sqrt{\frac{g m}{c_{d}}} \tanh (\sqrt{\frac{g c_{d}}{m}} t)

where v(t) = velocity (m/s), t = time (s), g = 9.81 m/s2^{2}, m = mass (kg), cdc_{d} = drag coefficient (kg/m). (a) Use Romberg integration to compute how far the jumper travels during the first 8 seconds of free fall given m = 80kg and cdc_{d} = 0.2kg/m.Compute the answer to εs=1%\varepsilon_{s}=1 \%. (b) Perform the same computation with quad.

Step 1
1 of 2

a.)\textbf{a.)} The distance traveled during the first 8 seconds can be calculated by finding the integral of the velocity from t=0t=0 to t=8t=8 s.

d=08gmcdtanh(gcdmt)dt\begin{aligned} d&=\int_{0}^{8}\sqrt{\frac{gm}{c_{d}}}\tanh{\left(\sqrt{\frac{gc_{d}}{m}}t \right)} dt\\ \end{aligned}

The MATLAB script that applies the Romberg integration algorithm to evaluate this integral to an accuracy of ϵs=1%\epsilon_{s}=1\% is shown below.

clear;clc;close all;
m=80;cd=0.2;g=9.81;
f=@(t)sqrt(g*m/cd)*tanh(sqrt(g*cd/m)*t);
maxit=40; es=1; a=0;b=8;
n = 1;
I(1,1) = tra(f,a,b,n);
iter = 0;
while iter<maxit
iter = iter+1;
n = 2^iter;
I(iter+1,1) = tra(f,a,b,n);
for k = 2:iter+1
j = 2+iter-k;
I(j,k) = (4^(k-1)*I(j+1,k-1)-I(j,k-1))/(4^(k-1)-1);
end
ea = abs((I(1,iter+1)-I(2,iter))/I(1,iter+1))*100;
if ea<=es, break; end
end
d= I(1,iter+1);

d = 255.2417 m

b.) Using quad()

clear;clc;close all;
m=80;cd=0.2;g=9.81;
f=@(t)sqrt(g*m/cd)*tanh(sqrt(g*cd/m)*t);
d=quad(f,0,8);

d=255.2600 md=255.2600\mathrm{~ m}
