Bungee Drop Elasticity Test 3
1 meter indicated
and adjusted for
height of 500 gram
mass. 1 meter also
marked on cord
and measured
while cord was taut
but not stretched
Bungee Drop Elasticity Test 4
1 meter mark on
cord is stretched to
1.25 meters and
500 gram mass has
NOT been lifted off
the floor. This cord
has passed the
elasticity test.

Once the cord
passes the
elasticity test,
the 1 meter
mark is then
stretched to the
point where the
cord will lift the
500 Gram mass
off the floor.
