Calculate the pull on the high bar of a gymnast performing a giant swing. His angular velocity is 2 rads, his mass 80 kg and effector radius of rotation (distance from bar to CofG) is 1 meter

Hi... I am a bit confused... "pull on the bar" would this be the work done on the bar to the person?

Any idead where I should be heading? Torrque or work done = fd ?
