Tarzan `(m = 85.0 kg)` tries to cross a river by swinging on a vine . The vine is `10.0m` just and his speed at the bottom of the swing (as he just clears the water) will be `8.00 ms^(-1)` Tarzan does not know that the vine hasa breaking strenght of `1000 N` Does he make it across the river safely ?

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether Tarzan can safely cross the river using the vine, we need to analyze the forces acting on him at the lowest point of the swing. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Forces Acting on Tarzan At the lowest point of the swing, two forces act on Tarzan: 1. The gravitational force (weight) acting downwards, which is given by \( F_g = mg \). 2. The tension in the vine acting upwards, which we will denote as \( T \). ### Step 2: Calculate the Gravitational Force ...
