Question

Name the forces acting on a plastic bucket containing water held above ground level in
your hand. Discuss why the forces acting on the bucket do not bring a change in its state of motion.

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is muscular force.

Explanation:

the answer is muscular force

Answer 2

There are 2 forces working on the bucket:

• Gravitational Force
• Muscular Force

Both of these forces act in the opposite direction. So they cancel each other out. Hence, there is no net force on the bucket.

More explanation:

If you're holding the bucket with a weaker force, the bucket will fall down since gravitational force is stronger that muscular force.

So you will have to hold the bucket with a muscular force EQUIVALENT to the gravitational force, so that both cancel each other out.

And hence the bucket will be in your hand, but not in motion.
