Jumping on a trampoline

Reference no: EM13671815

A gymnast of mass 52 kg is jumping on a trampoline. She jumps so that her feet reach a maximum height of 2:5 m above the trampoline and, when she lands, her feet stretch the trampoline down 75 cm. How far does the trampoline stretch when she stands on it at rest? [Hint: Suppose the trampoline obeys Hook's law when it is stretched.]
