Rope Swing You want to go on a rope swing but you are concerned that the rope (which is 19 m long) might break. The rope is rated for 3648 N. You have determined that at the lowest point of the swing you will be going 20 m/s. Assume your mass is 114 kg. Part 1 of 2 Determine how much tension will be in the rope at the lowest point. Express your answer with the appropriate mks units.

Expert Solution
Step 1

CONCEPT:

Given,

Length of the rope l=19 m

Velocity of the person v=20 m/s

Mass of the person m=114 kg

At the lowest point of swing, The total tension in the rope = weight of the person + centrifugal force due to circular motion.

So, tension:

                              T=mg+mv2l

Where,

            'T' is the tension

            'g' is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2
