An adventurous archeologist (m = 85.5 kg) tries to cross a river by swinging from a vine. The vine is 11.0 m long, and his speed at the bottom of the swing is 7.50 m/s. The archeologist doesn't know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1,000 N. Does he make it safely across the river without falling in?

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? N=

A light, rigid rod is 77.0 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless, horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small, massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. What minimum speedat the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle? Answer : 5.49 m/s
