Answer:
Draw the vector triangle (head to tail)
Let 8 be adjacent and 4 the opposite side
tan theta = 4 / 8 = .5
theta = 26.6 deg
Answer:
V = 2.87 m/s
Explanation:
The minimum speed required would be that at which the acceleration due to gravity is negated by the centrifugal force on the water.
Thus, we simply need to set the centripetal acceleration equal to gravity and solve for the speed V using the following equation:
Centripetal acceleration = V^2 / r
where r is the distance of water from the pivot or shoulder.
For our case, r will be 0.65 + 0.19 = 0.84 m
and solving the above equation we get:
9.81 = V^2 / 0.84
V^2 = 8.2404
V = 2.87 m/s
