Ryan swings a pail of water in a vertical circle 1.0 m in radius at a constant speed. If the water is NOT to spill on him:
(A) calculate the minimum tangential speed of the pail of water



(B) calculate the minimum angular speed of the swing

Respuesta :

Part 1

If water does not spill at the top point of the circular motion then for the minimum speed condition we can say normal force will be zero at the top position

[tex]F_g = ma[/tex]

[tex]mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}[/tex]

[tex]g = \frac{v^2}{R}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{Rg}[/tex]

given that

R = 1 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

now from above equation we have

[tex]v = \sqrt{1(9.8)} = 3.13 m/s[/tex]

Part b)

for minimum value of angular speed we will have

[tex]\omega = \frac{v}{R}[/tex]

[tex]\omega = \frac{3.13}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\omega = 3.13 rad/s[/tex]
