6) One form of locomotion used by primates is brachiation, swinging freely from one handhold to the next. Let's model this process by thinking of the primate as a simple pendulum - with an arm length of 1 m and a mass of 70 kg. If each swing goes from -20 to +20 with respect to the vertical, how long would it take it travel 100 m in this fashion? 6) One form of locomotion used by primates is brachiation, swinging freely from one handhold to the next.
