A father fashions a swing for his children out of a long rope that he fastens to the limb of a tall tree. As one of the children swings from this rope that is 6.10 m long, his tangential speed at the bottom of the swing is 7.05 m/s. (a) What is the centripetal acceleration, in m/s?, of the child at the bottom of the swing?
