What force makes a swing work?

The force of gravity makes a swing work. By leaning your body forward and backward as the swing passes the opposite direction, you cause the Center of Gravity (CG) to move slightly back from the center or slightly forward from the center. By doing this as momentum builds up, you can actually increase your swing arc. The length of the arc has an effect on the ability of the swinger to alter the CG. As the radius of the arc increases, so does the need for the offset of the lean to grow from the center of the arc as it would hang from dead center.

what force is in a swing set?

How does tension act on a swing?

Tension in the chains of a swing pulls on the seat, allowing it to stay suspended in the air. When the swing is pushed or kicked, tension in the chains helps to keep the swing moving in a swinging motion. The tension changes as the swing moves, allowing for the back and forth motion.
