Which physics formulas do I need to focus on to determine whether or not an amusement park swing ride rotating at its max speed can hold a 50 lb. child safely if, while stationary, the swing can hold up a 200 lb. man? Is the centripetal force what I am supposed to be finding, and then I compare it to the stationary hanging tension when the 200 lb. weight is on it?
