Well, its been about two years since I had to do a physics problem so I need some help.
A person plans on swinging from a 30 meter long rope from a bridge. They will tie the rope on to the center of the bridge then stretch it out tight and jump off. They'll be at the same height that the rope is tied at when they jump.
The person weighs 100 kg. Obviously they're on earth...
What is the maximum force exerted on the rope during the swing?What if we make the rope "dynamic rope" which stretches. Will this increase or decrease the maximum force on the rope?
I tried this and got about 3000 Newtons. Am I somewhere close?
Thanks,
Miles
