Question
![In order for Jane to return to base camp, she needs to swing across a river of width \( D \) that is filled with alligators. She must swing into a wind exerting constant horizontal force \( \vec{F} \), on a vine having length \( L \) and initially making an angle \( \theta \) with the vertical (see below figure). Take \( D = 50.0 \, \text{m} \), \( \vec{F} = 113 \, \text{N} \), \( L = 40.0 \, \text{m} \), \( \theta = 47.0^\circ \), and her mass to be \( 50.0 \, \text{kg} \).
**Diagram Description:**
The diagram shows Jane standing on a cliff on the right side, holding a vine. The vine is inclined at an angle \( \theta \) with the vertical toward a tree on the opposite side of the river. A force \( \vec{F} \) acts horizontally on the vine from the wind’s direction. The width \( D \) of the river and the distance \( L \) (vine’s length) are shown. Tarzan stands on the left side, waiting near the tree where Jane will land.
**Problems:**
(a) With what minimum speed (in m/s) must Jane begin her swing to just make it to the other side? (If Jane can make it across with zero initial velocity, enter 0.)
\[ \boxed{} \, \text{m/s} \]
(b) Shortly after Jane's arrival, Tarzan and Jane decide to swing back across the river (simultaneously). With what minimum speed (in m/s) must they begin their swing? Assume that Tarzan has a mass of \( 80.0 \, \text{kg} \).
\[ \boxed{} \, \text{m/s} \]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F08aa0b19-cba0-4fd4-b1f6-356b8c0f7ad5%2F7ad53cc8-169c-4c97-8c99-9a8ef90c5c3a%2F1pmenks_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
