Answer:
The minimum speed required is 2.62m/s
Explanation:
The value of gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s^2
Radius of the vertical circle = R = 0.7 m
Given the mass of the pail of water = m
The speed at the highest point of the circle = V
The centripetal force will be needed must be more than the weight of the pail of water in order to not spill water.
Below is the calculation:
[tex]\frac{mV^{2}}{R} = mg[/tex]
[tex]V = \sqrt{gR}[/tex]
[tex]V = \sqrt{9.81 \times 0.7}[/tex]
[tex]V = 2.62 m/s[/tex]
