j:qcj7cp n8, :ssc imnwh2l 19lock rests at the bottom of a bucket. The bucket is spun in a vertical circle of radius L by a rope. When the bucket reaches the highest point in its motion
isn 2 1csjjh8 :wccl 9qm,7pn:, it moves just fast enough for the block to remain in place in the bucket. When the bucket is at an angle $θ=30^{\circ}$from the vertical, as seen in the figure, what is the magnitude of the normal force (perpendicular to the surface) provided by the bucket onto the block? Note that the direction of the gravitational field is indicated in the diagram by
and that the block does not touch any sides of the bucket aside from the bottom of it.
