Question:medium

A wet open umbrella is held vertical and it whirls about the handle at a uniform rate of 21 revolutions in \(44\ \text{s}\). If the rim of the umbrella is a circle of \(1\ \text{m}\) in diameter and the height of the rim above the floor is \(4.9\ \text{m}\), the locus of the drop is a circle of radius

Show Hint

The locus is a circle larger than the umbrella rim due to tangential projection.
