Question

Why is it more difficult to lift a bucket of water from a well when the same is above the surface?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The bucket is easier to lift while it's still inside the well since it experiences an upthrust force which makes it lighter in water.

Explanation:

Step 1 : This question is an illustration of Archimedes principle which states that :

A body immersed in water experiences an upthrust equal to the weight of water it displaces.

This is the reason why huge ships float on water.

Step 2 : Applying the principle now answer the question.

A bucket inside the well experiences an upthrust force which makes it lighter.

This is the reason why it's easier to lift it when it's still inside the well.
