Question
Calculate The chains of a swing on a playground swing set are $3.0 \mathrm{~m}$ long. What is the period of this swing?
Step 1
The formula for the period of a pendulum is given by: T = 2π√(L/g), where T is the period, L is the length of the pendulum, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²). Show more…

A child's playground swing is supported by chains that are $4.0 \mathrm{m}$ long. If a child in the swing is $0.50 \mathrm{m}$ above the ground and moving at $6.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ when the chains are vertical, what is the maximum height of the swing? Assume the masses of the chains are negligible.
