1. 1. Homework Statement :
How to calculate minimum time period 't' required to complete a vertical circular motion by a cone filled with water, so that the water doesn't fall?
2. Homework Equations :
v^2 = gR * [ 3 + 2 cos (theta) ] obtained by applying law of conservation of energy.


3. 3. The Attempt at a Solution :
I have found that v^2 = gR * (3 + 2 cos theta ). But the velocity varies with theta. So, how to calculate the time required to complete one revolution using variable velocity?


Thanks!
