Let's assume the bottom of the bucket forms the circle in which water rotates. At every point in time the force exerted by water is tangential to the circle and hence perpendicular to the bottom of the bucket
As there is normal force pushing water from the bottom of the bucket, there must be a force pushing the water towards the bucket. I don't understand when the tension is inwards and water wants to go tangentially due to inertia then what force is pushing it outwards? considering the observer to be in an inertial frame there is no centrifugal force too...
