1. Samer (ms = 75 kg) is sitting on the seat of a swing at the playground. The seat is supported by two cables, one on each side of the seat. (You may assume the seat has negligible mass.) A. Determine the tension in each cable due to Samer sitting on the swing seat. B. Given each cable has a diameter of 1 mm and each cable is exactly 5 m long before Samer sits on the seat, determine the length of each cable when Samer is sitting on the seat.

Atthe moment shown in the figure, theman is stationary and the tension in therope in front of him is T1 = 1160 N.Since there is friction between therope and his hands, the tension in therope behind him, T2, is not equal to T1.His center of mass is halfway betweenhis feet and the top of his head.
