Answer:
2.84 m/s
Explanation:
At the top position of the circular trajectory, the normal reaction is zero:
N = 0
So it means that the only force that is providing the centripetal force is the gravitational force (the weight of the bucket). Therefore we have:
where
m is the mass of the water bucket
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
v is the speed of the bucket
r = 0.824 m is the radius of the circle
Solving for v,
