Question

A bucket of water experiencing a gravitational force of 525 N is pulled up from a water well. The net force in the y-direction is 45 N; therefore, the magnitude of the force of tension is N.

Answer 1

F = net force on the bucket of water being pulled up from the water well = 45 N

W = weight of the bucket of water being pulled up from the water well = 525 N

T = tension force in the rope in upward direction.

the tensi force acts in upward direction and weight force in downward direction, the net force is also in upward direction , hence the force equation is given as

T - W = F

T - 525 = 45

T = 570 N
