The tension on the rope simplifies to the extraordinarily simply F=3mg. In other words 3 times the person's weight. For a perfect pendulum with a dynamic rope the speed is less. Maybe you're satisfied with the answer "less." It's obviously still being discussed because others want a little more specific answer.
In reply to: For an imperfect pendulum with a dynamic rope it is all too complicated to work out, too many variables. Too complicated for whom? Are you seriously suggesting that the problem is so complicated that it can't be solved? Jay
