Chapter 13, Problem 84P
You’re working for a playground equipment company, which wants to know the rotational inertia of its swing with a child on board: the combined mass is 20 kg. You observe the child twirling around in the swing, twisting the ropes as shown in Fig. 13.37. As a result, child and swing rise slightly, with the rise h in cm equal to the square of the number of full turns. When the child stops twisting, the swing begins torsional oscillations. You measure the period at 6.91 s. What do you report for the rotational inertia of the child-swing system?
