The platform swing consists of a 190-lb flat plate suspended by four rods of negligible weight. When the swing is at rest, the 170-lb man jumps off the platform when his center of gravity G is 10 ft from the pin at A. This is done with a horizontal velocity of 5 ft/s, measured relative to the swing at the level of G. (Figure 1)
