A 20kg child sits on a swing with ropes 2 m long. The maximum speed during each swing is 4 m/s with an arc of 135°. What is the maximum tension in the swing?
The answer states that Fc + Fg = T but isn't T and Fc both pointing to the centre? So shouldn't it be Fc + T = Fg? I am having difficulty in set up for this problem.
