a boy is holding a plastic bucket filled with water, above the ground level. Name the force acting on the bucket .
why do the force named by you not bring about any change in the state of rest or motion of the bucket?
Answers
Answer:
Muscular and Gravitational force is acting on the plastic bucket filled with water.
Explanation:
As you are holding the bucket with your hands muscular force is applied and it stops the bucket from falling off by gravitational force.
The forces acting on the plastic bucket containing water held above ground level in your hand are:
- Gravitational force
- Muscular force
Gravitational force: Gravitational force is force which is applied by Earth's gravity. The object is pulled along the earth because of gravitational force. In simple terms, Gravitational force is the the force between two objects with mass.
Muscular force: The force applied by muscles is called as Muscular force. This force is applied by the body parts like Arm, Leg, Hands etc..
Why the forces acting on the bucket do not bring a change in its state of motion ?
This is because, they are balanced or they have net force of 0. Because of which, The forces acting on the bucket do not bring a change in it's state of motion.
Also, muscular force acts upward direction and gravitational force acts downward. Hence, net force will be 0
