A child of mass 35 kg is swinging on a rope. The child is modelled as a particle \(P\) and the rope is modelled as a light inextensible string of length 4 m . Initially \(P\) is held at an angle of \(45 ^ { \circ }\) to the vertical (see diagram).
- Given that there is no resistance force, find the speed of \(P\) when it has travelled half way along the circular arc from its initial position to its lowest point.
- It is given instead that there is a resistance force. The work done against the resistance force as \(P\) travels from its initial position to its lowest point is \(X \mathrm {~J}\). The speed of \(P\) at its lowest point is \(4 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\).
Find \(X\).
