A rope has a max tension of 800N.
A swinger is pulled back so that the rope is 27 degrees from vertical.
What's the max mass of the swinger?
Ok... I have tried a few approaches. I can't relate potential to kinetic because I am not given height. And even if i could get to kinetic, i don't know mass!
I figure that tension must be able to support weight and apply the centripetal force,
T=mg + mv^2/r
But I have no r.. no length, no v.. what's the key?
