In an effort to rev up his class, Mr. H does a demonstration with a bucket of water tied to a 1.38-meter long string. The bucket and water have a mass of 1.83 kg. Mr. H whirls the bucket in a vertical circle such that it has a speed 5.22 m/s.
A 0.300 kg yo-yo hangs at the end of a 0.25 m long string. The yo-yo and string are whirled around such that they are rotating in a vertical plane. The velocity of the yo-yo at the top of the path is 4.00 m/s. What is the tension in the string at that top of the path?
Mr. B does a demonstration with a bucket of water tied to a 1.4-meter long string. The bucket and water have a mass of 2.0 kg. Mr.B spins the bucket in a vertical circle such that it has a speed of 4.1 m/s at the top of the loop and 6.8 m/s at the bottom of the loop. What is the acceleration at the bottom of the loop?
