Problem

C1987M1. An adult exerts a horizontal force on a swing that is suspended by a rope of length L , holding it at an angle θ\theta with the vertical. The child in the swing has a weight W and dimensions that are negligible compared to L . The weights of the rope and of the seat are negligible. In terms of W and θ\theta, determine a) The tension in the rope b) The horizontal force exerted by the adult. c) The adult releases the swing from rest. In terms of W and θ\theta determine the tension in the rope as the swing passes through its lowest point ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/question-bank/question-images/617851ba30cd/2025_11_20_b6e29c73d98739775023g-26.jpg)
