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) .

STATEMENT-1: One end of a string of length r is tied to a stone of mass m and the other end to a small pivot on a frictionless vertical board. The stone is whirled in a vertical circle with the pivot as the centre. The minimum speed the stone must have, when it is at the topmost point on the circle, so that the string does not slack is sqrt( gR) . because STATEMENT-2: At the topmost point on the circle, the centripetal force is provided partly by tension in the string and partly by the weight of the stone.

A cylindrical bucket filled with water is whirled around in a vertical circle of radius r. What can be the minimum speed at the top of the path if water does not all out from the bucket ? If it continues with this speed, what normal contact force the bucket exerts on water at the lowest point of the path?
