Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.3 kgkg gibbon has an arm length (hand to shoulder) of 0.60 mm. We can model its motion as that of a point mass swinging at the end of a 0.60-mm-long, massless rod. At the lowest point of its swing, the gibbon is moving at 3.7 m/sm/s . What upward force must a branch provide to support the swinging gibbon?

Consider the Atwood machine shown in the figure, where m1 = 2.00 kg and m2 = 5.00 kg. The system starts at rest, then the sphere is given a quick push downward, giving it an initial speed of 2.45 m/s. Assume the pulley and cord are massless, and the cord is inextensible. Neglect friction. (a)Through what distance (in m) will m1 descend? b)What is the velocity (in m/s) of m1 after 1.80 s? magnitude
Instead of moving back and forth, a conical pendulum moves in a circle at constant speed as its string traces out a cone (Fig. P6.68). One such pendulum is constructed with a string of length L = 12.0cm and bob of mass 0.210 kg. The string makes an angle = 7.00 with the vertical, a. What is the radial acceleration of the bob? b. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the tension force exerted by the string on the bob?
