The "Giant Swing" at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper end (Fig. 5.57). Each arm supports a seat suspended from a cable 5.00 m long, the upper end of the cable being fastened to the arm at a point 3.00 m from the central shaft.
(a) Find the time of one revolution of the swing if the cable supporting a seat makes an angle of 30.0o with the vertical.
(b) Does the angle depend on the weight of the passenger for a given rate of revolution?
