Conceptual Example 9 provides background for this problem. A swing is made from a rope that will tolerate a maximum tension of 7.98 x 102 N without breaking. Initially, the swing hangs vertically. The swing is then pulled back at an angle of 52.3° with respect to the vertical and released from rest. What is the mass of the heaviest person who can ride the swing?

On the top of an 80 m tall building, there is a spring of 100 N/M were located 6.22 m away from the edge. Meanwhile, you are riding a crate which has negligible mass. You then compress the spring for about 0.87 m. Using your own mass, calculate how far you’ll go if the surface has a coefficient of kinetic friction of magnitude 0.3? Please answer correctly, comprehensively, and completely. As based on experience, some expert answers were wrong. Thank you.
A 61.9-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.3 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses strong elastic bands to propel the performer, much in the same way that a slingshot fires a stone. Setting up for this stunt involves stretching the bands by 2.35 m from their unstrained length. At the point where the performer flies free of the bands, his height above the floor is the same as that of the net into which he is shot. He takes 3.02 s to travel the horizontal distance of 28.7 m between this point and the net. Ignore friction and air resistance and determine the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism.

An online video daredevil is filming a scene where he swings across a river on a vine. The safety crew must use a vine with enough strength so that it doesn't break while swinging. The daredevil's mass is 82.0 kg, the vine is 11.0 m long, and the speed of the daredevil at the bottom of the swing has been determined to be 7.60 m/s. What is the minimum tension force (in N) the vine must be able to support without breaking?
