Chapter 6, Problem 19P
An adventurous archeologist (m = 85.0 kg) tries to cross a river by swinging from a vine. The vine is 10.0 m long, and his speed at the bottom of the swing is 8.00 m/s. The archeologist doesn’t know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1 000 N. Does he make it across the river without falling in?

- A small block slides down a frictionless track whose shape is described by y = (x^2) /d for x<0 and by y = -(x^2)/d for x>0.The value of d is d = 4.72 m. The block starts at x = 0, and is given a push to the left with an initial speed of 5.37 m/s, so it starts sliding up the track to the left.
