this is a famous Q b555
must have come up many times in forum
a water bucket attached to a rope is spun in a vertical radius `r`. suppose the bucket has mass `m` and that the bucket can be aprroximated as a point mass at the end of the rope. the rope breaks when the bucket is moving vertically upwards. the bucket rises to a height `h` above the release point.
1] what was the vel of the bucket when the rope breaks?
2] what was the tension in the chord just before the rope breaks.
