Two buckets spin around in a horizontal circle on

Chapter 12, Problem 12.20

(choose chapter or problem)

Two buckets spin around in a horizontal circle on frictionless bearings. Suddenly, it starts to rain. As a result, a. The buckets continue to rotate at constant angular velocity because the rain is falling vertically while the buckets move in a horizontal plane. b. The buckets continue to rotate at constant angular velocity because the total mechanical energy of the bucket + rain system is conserved. c. The buckets speed up because the potential energy of the rain is transformed into kinetic energy. d. The buckets slow down because the angular momentum of the bucket + rain system is conserved. e. Both a and b. f. None of the above.
