Suppose you wish to whirl a pail full of water in a vertical circle at a constant speed without spilling any of its contents (even at the top of the circle!). If your arm is 0.65 m long (from shoulder to fist) and the distance from the handle to the surface of the water is 17 cm, what minimum speed is required?

A jet airplane with a mass m=8330 kg is in level fight at constant speed, around a circular path of radius R=9.11mi. The airplane makes one complete revolution every T=0.121h.
