A bucket containing water is tied to one end of a rope of length 2.5 m and rotated about the other end in a vertical circle so that water does not spill even when bucet is upside down . What is the maximum velocity of the bucket at which this happens ? How many rotations per minute is it making `g = 10 m//s^(2) ` .

To solve the problem of finding the maximum velocity of the bucket so that the water does not spill when the bucket is upside down, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Acting on the Bucket When the bucket is at the top of the vertical circle, the forces acting on it are: 1. The gravitational force (weight) acting downward, which is \( W = mg \). 2. The centripetal force required to keep the bucket moving in a circular path, which is provided by the tension in the rope and the weight of the water. ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation for Forces ...
