Homework Statement
You swing a 6.5 kg bucket of water in a vertical circle of radius 3.6 m.
What speed must the bucket have if it is to complete the circle without spilling any water?
mass=6.5 kg
r= 3.6
Homework Equations
ay=(v^(2)/(r))
may= A-N-Mg
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that the force of gravity on the water and the normal force of the bucket on the water both point down. I assume you need to get the centripetal acceleration first. But I do not know what the applied force is and have no way of knowing. What do I do?
