Tarzan, Lord of Apes, is swinging through the jungle. In the diagram below, Tarzan is standing at point A on a tree branch h₁ = 22.0 m above the floor of the jungle. Tarzan is holding one end of a vine which is attached to a branch on a second tree. The vine is L=21.0 m long. When Tarzan swings on the vine, his path is in an arc of a circle. At the bottom of his swing he is at point B, 13.0 m above the ground. Ignore Tarzan's height. Tarzan has a mass of 90.0 kg. The vine does not stretch and has negligible mass. (a) Why does the tension in the vine do no work? (b) What will be his speed at this point? (c) What will be the tension in the rope? Tarzan, Lord of Apes, is swinging through the jungle.
