Question

A father fashions a swing for his children out of a long rope that he fastens to the limb of a tall tree. As one of the children swings from this rope that is 8.40 m long, his tangential speed at the bottom of the swing is 8.45 m/s. What provides the centripetal force that keeps the child moving in the arc?

Step 1

At this point, the child experiences two main forces: the gravitational force acting downward (weight) and the tension in the rope acting upward. Show more…
