Question
A 65kg man runs towards a river and aims to hold on to a 3-m rope that is tied on a tree. He runs at an
initial velocity of 5.5 m/s with a uniform acceleration of 35 m/s? and a running distance of 5-m before he
grabs the rope. During running, he experiences an opposing horizontal air resistance of 10 N. Then, he
swings over the river using the 3-m rope with a constant speed before letting go of the rope. Determine
the following: (a) the velocity of the man upon grabbing the rope, (b) the time he spent during running
before reaching the rope, (c) traction force during running, and (d) the tension in the rope just before
letting it go.
