Question:
A circus trapeze consists of a bar suspended by two parallel ropes, each of length L, allowing performers to swing in a vertical circular arc (Figure P8.12). Suppose a performer with mass m holds the bar and steps off an elevated platform, starting from rest with the ropes at an angle θi with respect to the vertical. Suppose the size of the performers body is small compared to the length L, that she does not pump the trapeze to swing higher, and that air resistance is negligible.
(a) Show that when the ropes make an angle θ with the vertical, the performer must exert a force in order to hang on.
mg (3 cos θ 2cosθi)
(b) Determine the angle θi for which the force needed to hang on at the bottom of the swing is twice the performers weight.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
