Problem 76GP
You swing a 3.25-kg bucket of water in a vertical circle of radius 0.950 m. At the top of the circle the speed of the bucket is 3.23 m/s; at the bottom of the circle its speed is 6.91 m/s. Find the tension in the rope tied to the bucket at (a) the top and (b) the bottom of the circle.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
a.)
We have to find the tension in the rope tied to a bucket of water at the top of the circle when it is swung in a vertical radius of 0.950 m.
The tension in the rope at the top of the circle can be found by applying Newton’s second law for the bucket when it is at the top of the circle.
