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 (Take \(g = 10 \, m / sec^{2}\) )
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Critical velocity at highest point \(= \sqrt{gR} = \sqrt{10 \times 1.6}\) =4 m/s
