Question

A 40 kg child is sitting on a swing. The swing is attached to a tree branch by a single 2.40m long rope. A. Find the tension, in [N], in the rope when the child is at rest. B. Imagine that the swing can go around in a vertical circle, with a velocity of 6 m/s at the top of its motion. Find the tension in the rope at this point.

Step 1

- When the child is at rest, the only forces acting on the child are the tension in the rope (T) and the gravitational force (weight) acting downwards. Since the child is not moving, these forces must be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. - The Show more…
