A girl with a mass of 32 kg is playing on a swing. There are three main forces acting on her at any time: gravity, force due to centripetal acceleration, and
the tension in the swing's chain (ignore the effects of air resistance). At the
instant shown in the image below, she is at the bottom of the swing and is
traveling at a constant speed of 4 m/s. What is the tension in the swing's
chain at this time? (Recall that g = 9.8 m/s2)
Tension
Weight
A. 333.6 N
B. 441.6 N
C. 562.8 N
D. 817.8 N
