Mass of the bucket: 15 kg
Mass of the rope: m
Height: 12 m
Work done: 2160 J
(Mass of the bucket + Mass of the rope) × gh = 2160
(m + 15) × 10 × 12 = 2160
m = 3 kg
we know centre of mass of the rope lies in the middle of the rope i.e. 6 m away from the bucket.
so linear density of rope = mass/distance of centre of mass 3/6 = 0.5 kg/m
