4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
normal
A bucket tied at the end of a $1.6\, m$ long string is whirled in a vertical circle with constant speed. What should be the minimum speed so that the water from the bucket does not spill, when the bucket is at the highest position ............ $m/sec$ (Take $g = 10\, m/sec^2$)
A
$4$
B
$6.25$
C
$16$
D
None of the above
Solution
$\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{mV}^{2}}{\mathrm{r}}=\mathrm{mg} & & \mathrm{V}=\sqrt{\mathrm{rg}}=\sqrt{1.6 \times 10} \\ & \mathrm{V}=4 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned}$
