Physics question

Question

Tarzan (m = 85.0 kg) tries to cross a river by swinging from a vine. The vine is 12.0 m long, and his speed at the bottom of the swing (as he just clears the water) will be 8.50 m/s. Tarzan doesn't know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1000 N. Does he make it safely across the river? Give the calculated tension on the vine, to support your answer.
