Homework Statement
Tarzan plans to cross a gorge by swinging in an arc from a hanging vine. If his arms are capable of exerting a force of 1400 N on the rope, what is the maximum speed he can tolerate at the lowest point of his swing? His mass is 80 kg and the vine is 4.8 m long?
Homework Equations
net force = ma
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure how to deal with the force of tension in this problem
net force radial direction = m a radial direction = Fr = Ft + Farm - Fg
sense I don't know what the force of tension is in this problem I got down to this
v = ((.06 kg^-1 m)Ft - 37 s^-2 m^2)^(2^-1)
is the force of tension equal to what?
