Question

Assertion: When water in a bucket is whirled fast overhead, the water does not fall out at the top of the circular path.
Reason : The centripetal force in this position on water is more than the weight of water.
(A) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
(B) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
(C) Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
(D) Both Assertions are incorrect and Reason is correct.

Answer 1

Hint: An assertion means the forceful or the confident statement or it may be fact and belief whereas the reason is an explanation about that particular statement. First we will find if the given assertion is true or false and then will decide whether the given assertion and the reason are correct or not.

Complete step by step solution:
Since, when the water is whirled fast and water drops starts moving in the circular motion with the high velocity and generates the huge centripetal force.
When the water droplets are at the top of the circular path, it does not fall out as this centripetal force becomes greater than the gravitational force that is the weight of the water.
From the given multiple choices, the option A is the correct answer.

Note:
Always judge each given statement of the assertion and the reason independently. If you are able to find out the incorrect statement, then you have solved the statement and accordingly determine whether the given statements are true or false. These types of questions are generally asked in the competitive exams.
