<p>Hey... I'm working on my physics mid-term exam (a take-home he said we could seek help on), and I think I've answered every question correctly. I only have reservations about the following question:</p>
<p>A small monkey is swiming on a vine. The vine is 2.5 m long and fastened at point C. The monkey swings in a circular path sliding on a frictionless plane tipped at an angle of 53.1° from the horizontal. Calculate the minimum speed required at the lowest point, A, if the monkey is to coast through the highest point, B, without leaving the circular path. </p>

<p>If any of you physics majors are bored, could you please solve this problem and tell me what you did?
(I have a pretty good idea, I just want to make sure my method is correct)</p>
