Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

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?
