A child weighing 220N is swinging back and forth on a ropeattached to a tree branch. The rope is 3.8 m long and hasnegligible mass.

1. What is the direction and magnitude of the child's accelerationat the highest point of the swing when the rope makes an angle θwith the vertical?

2. What is the tension in the rope at the highest point of theswing?

Walking by a pond, you find a rope attached to a stout tree limb that is 5.2 m above ground level. You decide to use the rope to swing out over the pond. The rope is a bit frayed, but supports your weight. You estimate that the rope might break if the tension is 80 N greater than your weight. You grab the rope at a point 4.6 m from the limb and move back to swing out over the pond. (Model yourself as a point particle attached to the rope 4.6 m from the limb.) (a) What is the maximum safe initial angle between the rope and the vertical at which it will not break during the swing? (b) If you begin at this maximum angle, and the surface of the pond is 1.2 m below the level of the ground, with what speed will you enter the water if you let go of the rope when the rope is vertical?

5.58 - A bowling ball weighing 71.2 N (16.0 lb) is attached to the ceiling by a 3.80-m rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released; it then swings back and forth as a pendulum. As the rope swings through the vertical, the speed of the bowling ball is 4.20 m/s. At this instant, what are (a) the acceleration of the bowling ball, in magnitude and direction, and (b) the tension in the rope?
