Answer:
No..
Explanation:
As the bird releases the drop there is no internal force which will drive it into circular path but it will fall on tangent of the arc at the point of release because it has a tangential velocity same as bird. Path will be parabola in vertical plane.
As the person is on circular arc constantly moving it will never meet that drop.
All it does is lets him pull in a more convenient direction to raise the load. It has no effect on the required force.
