(c) The contact force exerted by the pail is the most important in causing the water to move in a circle. If the gravitational force acted alone, the water would follow the parabolic path of a projectile. When the pail is inverted at the top of the circular path, it cannot hold the water up to prevent it from falling out. If the water is not to spill, the pail must be moving fast enough that the required centripetal force is at
least as large as the gravitational force. That is, we must have m v 2 r mg or v rg 1.00m 9.80m s 2 3.13 m s (d) If the pail were to suddenly disappear when it is at the top of the circle and moving at 3.13 m/s, the water would follow the parabolic path of a projectile launched with initial velocity components of v xi = 3.13 m/s, v yi = 0.

FIG. P5.9 From the acceleration, we can calculate the friction force, answer (c), next. (c) Take the positive x axis down parallel to the incline, in the direction of the acceleration.
