A bucket tied at the end of a 1.6 m long string is whirled in a vertical circle with constant speed. What should be the minimum speed so that the water from the bucket does not spill, when the bucket is at the highest position (Take \[g=10m/{{\sec }^{2}}\]) [AIIMS 1987]
A) 4 m/sec
B) 6.25 m/sec
C) 16 m/sec
D) None of the above
Correct Answer:
A
Solution :
Critical velocity at highest point\[=\sqrt{gR}=\sqrt{10\times 1.6}\]=4m/s
