an elementary student of mass m=34 kg is swinging on a swing. the length from the top of the swing set to the seat is L=4.7 m. the child is attempting to swing all the way around in a full circle.

-what is the minimum speed in meters per second the child must be moving with at the top of the path in order to make a full circle?

-assuming the child is traveling at the speed found in part a what is their apparent weight in newtons at the top of their path? (at the top, the child is upside-down)

-if the velocity at the very top is the same velocity from part a what is the childs apparent weight in newtons at the very bottoms of the path?
