A person is to be released from rest on a swing pulled away from the vertical by an angle of 20.0°. The two frayed ropes of the swing are 2.75 m long, and will break if the tension in either of them exceeds 355 N. (a) What is the maximum weight the person can have and not break the ropes? (b)If the person is released at an angle greater than 20.0°, does the maximum weight increase, decrease, or stay the same? (c)Solve in Newton Law, Conversation Law, and Work-Kinetic Theorem.
