A small polished glass ball P of mass mball = 20 g moves on the inside smooth surface of a spherical bowl of internal radius r = 25 cm. The object rotates with constant angular speed w, in a horizontal circle which is at a depth of r/2 below the centre of the bowl. It is required to determine: a) The magnitude of Normal reaction acting on object P; b) The linear speed and the time it takes the small ball to do a full rotation of its circular path.

Question
A small polished glass ball P of mass mball = 20 g moves on the inside smooth
surface of a spherical bowl of internal radius r = 25 cm. The object rotates with
constant angular speed w, in a horizontal circle which is at a depth of r/2 below
the centre of the bowl.
It is required to determine:
a) The magnitude of Normal reaction acting on object P;
b) The linear speed and the time it takes the small ball to do a full rotation of
its circular path.
