A movie stunt performer 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 stunt performer's mass is 88.0 kg, the vine is 10.5 m long, and the speed of the stunt performer at the bottom of the swing has been determined to be 8.80 m/s. What is the minimum tension force (in N) the vine must be able to support without breaking?
