How far below the bridge will Kate eventually be hanging, once she stops oscillating and comes finally to rest? Assume that she doesn't touch the water.

Step 1
This is because at the lowest point, her potential energy is at its minimum and her kinetic energy is at its maximum, causing her to stop moving and come to rest. Show more…

Bungee Jumping. A bungee jumper is bouncing up and down so that her distance $d$ above a river satisfies the inequality $|d-60 \mathrm{ft}| \leq 10 \mathrm{ft}$ (see the figure below). If the bridge from which she jumped is 150 ft above the river, how far is the bungee jumper from the bridge at any given time?
