Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to thenext handhold. A 9.3kggibbon has

an arm length (hand to shoulder) of 0.60m. We can model its motionas that of a point mass swinging at the end of a 0.60-m-long, massless rod. At the lowest point of its swing,the gibbon is moving at 3.3m/s. What upward force must a branch provide to support the swinging gibbon?

Upward force provided by the branch is 260 N

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given -

Mass of Gibbon, m = 9.3 kg

Length of the branch, r = 0.6 m

Speed of the movement, v = 3.3 m/s

Upward force, T = ?

The tension force in the rod must be greater than the weight at the bottom of the swing in order to provide an upward centripetal acceleration.

Therefore,

F net = T - mg

F net = ma = mv²/r

Thus,

T = mv²/r + mg

T = m ( v²/r + g)

T = 9.3 [ ( 3.3)² / 0.6 + 9.8]

T = 259.9 N ≈ 260 N

Therefore, upward force provided by the branch is 260 N

EleoNora [17]

Explanation:

If we assume negligible air resistance and heat loss, we can assume that all of the Gravitational potential energy of the ball will turn into Kinetic energy as it falls toward the ground.

Therefore our Kinetic energy = mgh = (10kg)(9.81N/kg)(100m) = 9,810J.
