The platform swing consists of a 200-lb flat plate suspended by four rods of negligible weight.When the swing is at rest, the 150-lb man jumps off the platform when his center of gravity G is 10 ft from the pin at A. This is done with a horizontal velocity of 5 ft/s, measured relative to the swing at the level of G. Determine the angular velocity he imparts to the swing just after jumping off.
