1. Fill your bucket with 1 liter of water. 1 liter weighs 0.96 kilograms.
2. Measure the distance from the shoulder of the person who will swing the bucket to the bottom of the bucket and record that distance. This is the radius of the circle that the bucket will swing in.
3. Using the stopwatch, record the time it takes to swing the bucket in a circle once (the period).
4. Find the velocity of the bucket using the time and the radius you found.
5. Then, using the velocity you found, find the centripetal force of the bucket the first time.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 four times, swinging the bucket more slowly each time, trying to find out how slowly you can swing the bucket without getting anyone wet.
7. Using the recorded data, answer the two questions on the handout. HAVE FUN! Don't get wet!
