A child of mass m sits in a swing of negligible mass suspended by a rope of length l. Assume that the dimensions of the child are negligible compared with l. His father pulls the child back until the rope makes an angle of one radian with vertical, then pushes with a force F=mg along the arc of the circle releasing at the vertical : a) How high up will the swing go? b) How long did the father push?
