The minimum speed of the water must be 3.4 m/s
Explanation:
There are two forces acting on the water in the pail when it is at the top of its circular motion:
- The force of gravity, mg, acting downward (where m is the mass of the water and g the acceleration of gravity)
- The normal reaction, N also acting downward
Since the water is in circular motion, the net force must be equal to the centripetal force, so:
Where:
v is the speed of the pail
r = 1.2 m is the radius of the circle
The water starts to spill out when the normal reaction of the pail becomes zero:
N = 0
When this occurs, the equation becomes:
And substitutin the values of g and r, we find the minimum speed that the water must have in order not to spill out:

The refractive index for glycerine is 
, while for air it is 
.
When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
