Question

A bucket is filled partly with water such that its combined mass is 2.5 kg. It is tied to a rope and whirled in a circle with a radius of 1.4 m. The speed at the top of the circle is 4.0 m/s and the speed at the bottom of the circle is 6.0 m/s. Determine the magnitude of the net force acting on the bucket at the bottom of the circle.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Simply τ = m x g x r = 54kg x 9.8m/s² x 0.050m = 26 N·m

2. The bucket creates a torque

τ = 75kg x 9.8m/s² x 0.075m = 55 N·m,

so we must create the same torque with the handle.

55 N·m = F x 0.25m

F = 220 N
