an elementary student of mass (m) is 28 kg and is swinging on a swing. Then length from the top of the swing to the seat is (L) 4.1 m. THe child is attempting to swing all the way around in a full circle.  1) what is the minimum speed the child mist be moving with at the top of the path in order to make a full circle. 2) assuming the child is travelling at the speed found in the first question what is their apparent weight Wa at the top of their path.  3) if the velocity att the very top is the same velcity from question 1. What is the childs apparent weight at the very bottom of the path.
