A 12-fl -oz glass, of 3-in diameter, partly full of water, isattached to the edge of an 8-ft-diameter merry-go-round,which is rotated at 12 r/min. How full can the glass bebefore water spills? Hint: Assume that the glass is muchsmaller than the radius of the merry-go-round.
The 6-ft-radius waterwheel in Fig. is being used tolift water with its 1-ft-diameter half-cylinder blades. If thewheel rotates at 10 r/min and rigid-body motion is assumed,what is the water surface angle θ at position A ?
