Question

Q2: Jane, who weighs 500 N, must cross a river full of hungry crocodiles to save Tarzan, who weighs 700 N, from danger. She jumps (from rest) off a cliff hanging from the end of an 18 m long vine, Fig.
length, Fig. 1(b). From the top of the cliff to the lowest point of the trajectory she descends 3.0 m. The vine will break
if the force exerted on it exceeds 650 N.
(a) Show that she will not be able to reach Tarzan?
(b) And determine the angle of rupture θ, with respect to vertical.
(c) Using a rope strong enough to hold them both, Jane rescues Tarzan. What will be the speed of the
two when Jane "grabs" him (assume Jane is strong enough to hold him)?
(d) Is the energy conserved? If yes, justify, if no, calculate
∆K/Ki and explain what happened to the energy.
