Question

Tarzan is crossing a river by swinging on a 10.0-m long vine with a breaking point of 1.0 x 10^3 N. If Tarzan's speed at the bottom of his swing is 8.0 m/s, what is the largest mass that Tarzan can have and still make it across the river? [Hint: There are multiple forces acting on Tarzan.]
