SPH4U Exam Review Questions - SRB 2013
... A 40.0 kg calf on a swing moves in a circular arc of radius 3.25 m. At the lowest position, the calf’s speed reaches 2.75 m/s. Determine the magnitude of tension in each of the two vertical support chains when the swing is at its lowest position. (i.e. the 2 chains exert equal amounts of force on th ...
