Chemistry May 19, 2021

Tarzan and Jane, whose total mass is 110.0 kg, start their swing on a 4.5 m long vine when the vine is at an angle of 30.0° with the horizontal. At the bottom of the arc, Jane, whose mass is 50.0 kg, releases the vine. What is the maximum height at which Tarzan can land on a branch after his swing continues? (Hint: Treat Tarzan's and Jane's energies as separate quantities.)

Expert Solution

110*10*4.5(1-cos30)=60*10*h
so h=9*(1-cos30)
= 1.10 m
