Chapter 6, Problem 19P
An adventurous archeologist (m = 85.0 kg) tries to cross a river by swinging from a vine. The vine is 10.0 m long, and his speed at the bottom of the swing is 8.00 m/s. The archeologist doesn’t know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1 000 N. Does he make it across the river without falling in?
