I spin a bucket of water over my head. The rope is length r, the tension on the rope is T, and the speed of the bucket is v. Which of the following correctly describes the situation when the bucket is directly overhead? Group of answer choices
Added by Gregory F.
Step 1
Step 1: When the bucket is directly overhead, the tension in the rope will be equal to the centripetal force required to keep the bucket moving in a circular path. Show more…

Which of the following equations correctly describes the wave speed on a string of mass M and length L under tension T?
Suman K.
A bucket tied at the end of a $1.6 \mathrm{~m}$ 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 (Take $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ ) (a) $4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ (b) $6.25 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ (c) $16 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ (d) None of these

A bucket of water with a mass of $2.0 \mathrm{kg}$ is attached to a rope that is wound around a cylinder. The cylinder has a mass of $3.0 \mathrm{kg}$ and is mounted horizontally on frictionless bearings. The bucket is released from rest. (a) Find its speed after it has fallen through a distance of $0.80 \mathrm{m}$. What are (b) the tension in the rope and (c) the acceleration of the bucket?
