Question

name the forces acting on the 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

For a plastic bucket containing water held above ground level in hand,

The forces acting on it are

1. Gravitational force
2. Human hand also applies force, can be called as Muscular force

The forces don't bring a change in its state of motion, Because they are balanced. In other words, Net force on the bucket is 0. Equal Forces acting on the body in opposite directions can't bring about a change in its state of motion.

Answer 2

The forces acting on the plastic bucket containing water held above ground level in your hand are:

1. Gravitational force
2. 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 Humans with the help of 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
