To determine whether there will be any change in the period of the swing when a boy stands up, we can analyze the situation step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Swing as a Pendulum The swing can be modeled as a simple pendulum, where the period (T) of the pendulum is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \] where: - \( T \) is the period of the pendulum, - \( L \) is the length of the pendulum, ...
