Spiderman has a mass of 80 kg. He is swinging between two buildings. His web is 20 m long, and the path he follows is a portion of a circle. (a) What is the tension in his web when he is at the lowest point in his swing? Assume that when he began his swing his web made a 20 • angle from vertical. (b) How long does it take him to reach the other side? Explain.

A string can support a stationary hanging load of mass 25 kg before breaking. a) Calculate the maximum tension that the string can support. b) Suppose one end of the string is attached to an object of mass m = 3 kg, while the other end is fixed to the center of a frictionless table as shown in the figure. When given an initial speed, the object moves along a horizontal circle of radius R = 0.8 m. Calculate the maximum speed the object can have before the string breaks.
