A 43-kg child sits in a massless swing. With what horizontal force must the seat be pulled so that the ropes form an angle of 35o with respect to the vertical? Group of answer choices 300 N 320 N 340 N 360 N

Answer :

The horizontal force that the seat must be pulled so that the ropes form an angle of 35o with respect to the vertical is 345.2 N.

Horizontal force to be applied

The horizontal force that the seat must be pulled so that the ropes form an angle of 35o with respect to the vertical is calculated as;

F = Wcosθ

where;

  • W is weight of the child
  • θ is angle of inclination of the rope

F = (43 x 9.8) x cos(35)

F = 345.2 N
