What is the tension in the chain of a swing on a circular swing ride that swings in a circle once around in 6 seconds, in a 25 meter radius? The person on the swing (and seat, etc.) weighs 60 kg. Please show all work. Thank you very much!

Ty = m*g Tx = m*V^2/r = m*(6.2832*25)^2/(6^2*25) = m*27.43 T = m*√9.806^2+27.43^2 = 29.13*60 ≈ 1750 N
