A 25 kg child plays on a swing having support ropes that are 2.20 m long. A friend pulls her back until the ropes are 42◦ from t

he vertical and releases her from rest.
(a) What is the potential energy for the child just as she is released, compared to the potential energy at the bottom of the swing?

(b) How fast will she be moving at the bottom of the swing?

(c) How much work does the tension in the ropes do as the child swings from the initial position to the bottom of the swing? Hint: Think about the angle between the Tension force and the direction of motion.

Answer:

A) P.E = 138.44 J

B) The velocity of swing at bottom, v = 3.33 m/s

C) The work done, W = -138.44 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the child, m = 25 Kg

The length of the swing rope, L = 2.2 m

The angle of the swing to the vertical position, ∅ = 42°

A) The potential energy at the initial position ∅ = 42° is given by the relation

                                P.E = mgh joule

Considering h  = 0 for the vertical position

The h at ∅ = 42° is  h = L (1 - cos∅)

                               P.E = mgL (1 - cos∅)

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                               P.E = 25 x 9.8 x 2.2 (1 - cos42°)

                                      = 138.44 J

The potential energy for the child just as she is released, compared to the potential energy at the bottom of the swing is, P.E = 138.44 J

B) The velocity of the swing at the bottom.

At bottom of the swing the P.E is completely transformed into the K.E

                  ∴                 K.E = P.E

                                     1/2 mv² = 138.44

                                     1/2 x 25 x v² 138.44

                                            v² = 11.0752

                                             v = 3.33 m/s

The velocity of the swing at the bottom is, v = 3.33 m/s

C) The work done by the tension in the rope from initial position to the bottom

             Tension on string, T = Force acting on the swing, F

                      W=L\int\limits^0_\phi{F} \, d \phi

                             =L\int\limits^0_\phi{mg.sin \phi} \, d \phi

                            = -Lmg[cos\phi]_{42}^{0}

                            = - 2.2 x 25 x 9.8 [cos0 - cos 42°]

                            = - 138.44 J

The negative sign in the in energy is that the work done is towards the gravitational force of attraction.

The work done by the tension in the ropes as the child swings from the initial position to the bottom of the swing, W = - 138.44 J
