Question 1.
Given:
Mass of bucket = 2 kg
Mass of drinking glass = 0.5 kg
We want to find out how fast she must swing the bucket to keep the glass from falling out.
Part A.
Let's draw the free-body diagram
B. The equation for the net force on the glass at the top of the circle in terms of w, Fn, m, v, and r.
To write the equation for the net force on the glass at the top of the circle, we have:
Where:
Fnet is the net force
Fn is the normal force
w is the weight
m is the mass
Thus, the equation for the net force on the glass at the top of the circle is:
