The vine has a fixed end, so Tarzan's path is circular. So the vine must not only support Tarzan's weight (or some component of it) but must also provide centripetal force to curve Tarzan's velocity. At Tarzan's lowest point, this can be expressed as:.

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to
