Is it possible to whirl a bucket of water fast enough
in a vertical circle so that the water won't fall
out?
If so, what is the minimum speed?
Define all quantities needed.
Answer:
Yes it is possible.
Minimum speed, , where r is the radius.
To calculate minimum speed we need only radius value of the vertical circle
Explanation:
Yes it is possible.
Centripetal acceleration is given by the expression,
Centripetal force on the body is given by the expression.
The weight of the body is given by, W = mg
The maximum chance of spilling water from bucket is when the bucket is on the top of vertical circle.
So we have,
So to calculate minimum speed we need only radius value of the vertical circle.
