    4. A "swing" ride at a carnival consists of chairs that are swung in a circle by L = 13.3-m cables attached at an angle of θ = 55.5° to a vertical rotating pole, as the drawing below shows. Suppose the total mass of a chair and its occupant is 182 kg. Calculate the tension in the cable attached to the chair.
