$A$ bucket filled with water is tied to a rope of length $0.5 \,m$ and is rotated in a circular path in a vertical plane. The minimum velocity it should have at the lowest point of the circle so that the water does not spill is, $(g=10 \,m/s^2)$

You may have seen in a circus a motorcyclist driving in vertical loops inside a 'death well' (a hollow spherical chamber with holes,so the spectators can watch from outside). Explain clearly why the motorcyclist does not drop down when he is at the uppermost point,with no support from below. What is the minimum speed required at the uppermost position to perform a vertical loop if the radius of the chamber is $25 \; m$?
