Tarzan is hanging onto a vine, while standing on a branch. What will be his speed when he gets to the bottom of the swing if the branch was 6 m above this lowest point of his swing?

Answer: His weight plus the centripetal force must equal 1170 N

Step-by-step explanation:

83.0 [g + (v^2 / r)] = 1170

v^2 / 18.0 = (1170 / 83.0) - 9.81
