A 32.2-kg child swings on a rope with a length of 6.06 m that is hanging from a tree. At the bottom of the swing, the child is moving at a speed of 4.2 m/s. What is the tension in the rope?

Answer 1

force up on child = T
force down on child = mg

net force up on child F = T-mg
F = m a
T - mg = m (v^2/R)

T = m (g + v^2/R)

Answer 2
