- Anyone ever proved that the surface of water in a bucket rotating
- in a gravitational field is a paraboloid?
- I remember seeing this problem worked out is some text, but I can't seem to
- relocated it. I seem to remember using Bernoulli's Equation....but
- the form of Bernoulli's Equation that I have seen is not gereralized
- to rotational motion.
- If you could point me to a text or remind me how to solve it that
- would be great.

- Thanks,
