Estimate the maximum height a flea can attain


The resilin in the upper leg (coxa) of a flea has a force constant of about 30 , and when the flea cocks its jumping legs, the resilin in each leg is stretched by approximately 0.10 . Given that the flea has a mass of 0.55 , and that two legs are used in a jump, estimate the maximum height a flea can attain by using the energy stored in the resilin. (Assume the resilin to be an ideal spring.)
