The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the speed of the bucket at the topmost point when the water does not spill out, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Forces at the Topmost Point**: At the topmost point of the circular motion, the forces acting on the bucket are: - The gravitational force (weight of the bucket and water) acting downwards, which is \( mg \). - The centripetal force required to keep the bucket moving in a circle, which is provided by the gravitational force and the normal force from the water. 2. **Setting Up the Equation**: At the topmost point, the normal force \( N \) can be considered as zero for the water to not spill out. Therefore, the equation for forces can be written as: \[ mg = \frac{mv^2}{R} + N \] Since \( N = 0 \) (the water does not exert any upward force), the equation simplifies to: \[ mg = \frac{mv^2}{R} \] 3. **Cancelling Mass**: Since mass \( m \) appears on both sides of the equation, we can cancel it out (assuming \( m \neq 0 \)): \[ g = \frac{v^2}{R} \] 4. **Solving for Velocity**: Rearranging the equation to solve for \( v^2 \): \[ v^2 = gR \] Taking the square root of both sides gives us the speed \( v \): \[ v = \sqrt{gR} \] 5. **Conclusion**: Thus, the speed of the bucket at the topmost point, when the water does not spill out, is: \[ v = \sqrt{gR} \] ### Final Answer: The speed of the bucket at the topmost point is \( \sqrt{gR} \). ---
