Your dormitory has a nice balcony that looks over a pond in the grass below. You attach a 16-m-long rope to the limb of a tall tree beside the pond and pull it to the balcony so that it makes a 53° angle from the vertical. You hold the rope while standing on the balcony and then swing down. (a) How fast are you moving at the lowest point in your swing? Specify the system and the initial and final states. List the assumptions that you made. (b) How strong should the rope be to withstand your adventure (use your own mass for calculations)?
