Chapter 5, Problem 26P
A pail of water is rotated in a vertical circle of radius 1.00 m. (a) What two external forces act on the water in the pail? (b) Which of the two forces is most important in causing the water to move in a circle? (c) What is the pail’s minimum speed at the top of the circle if no water is to spill out? (d) Assume the pail with the speed found in part (c) were to suddenly disappear at the top of the circle. Describe the subsequent motion of the water. Would it differ from the motion of a projectile?

You are looking down at the table. Forces exerted by the air are negligible. A ball is shot at high speed into the channel at "p" and exits at "r."
Consider the following distinct forces:
A downward force of gravity.
A force exerted by the channel pointing from q to O.
A force in the direction of motion.

An automobile moves on a level horizontal road in a circle of radius 50 m. The coefficient of static friction between tires and road is 0.50.
(a) Calculate the maximum speed with which this car can round this curve. Now, suppose the road is covered with ice, there is no friction. Instead, the road is banked.
(b) Calculate the angle the road must be banked at in order to make the car round the curve with the same maximum speed.
