You swing a bucket full of water in a vertical circle at the end of a rope. The mass of the bucket plus the water is 1.2 kg. The center of mass of the bucket plus the water moves in a circle of radius 1.4 m. At the instant that the bucket is at the top of the circle, the speed of the bucket is 7.2 m/s. What is the tension in the rope at this instant

Given Information:  

Radius = r = 1.4 m  

Mass of bucket = m = 1.2 kg  

Speed of bucket = 7.2 m/s

Required Information:  

Tension in the rope = Fstring = ?

Tension in the rope = 32.67 N

Explanation:  

So we have a bucket of water which is attached to a rope and the bucket is going through a circular motion.

There are two forces acting on the bucket; tension force of the rope and the weight of the bucket so we can write

Fnet = Fstring + W

Fnet = Fstring + mg

Since the bucket is going through a circular motion,

F = mv²/r

mv²/r = Fstring + mg

Fstring = mv²/r - mg

Fstring = 1.2*(7.2)²/1.4 - 1.2*9.8

Fstring = 44.43 - 11.76

Fstring = 32.67 N

Therefore, at the instant that the bucket is at the top of the circle with speed of 7.2 m/s, the tension in the rope at this instant is 32.67 N.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this

ok
