A boy weighing 445N swings on a 2m long swing. If his horizontal speed at the lower is 3 m/s, what total force must the ropes holding the swing be able to withstand?

A child is swinging from a suspended rope 4.0 m long that will break if the tension equals twice the weight of the child. What is the greatest angle θi the rope can make with the vertical during a swing if the rope is not to break? If the angle slightly exceeds that found in part (a), what is the speed of the child when the rope breaks?
