A 5.0 Kg bucket of water raised from a well by a rope. If the upward acceleration of the bucket is 3.0 m/s^2, find the force exerted by the rope on the bucket.
Added by Sofia T.
Step 1
The force of gravity (weight) is calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. So, the force of gravity on the bucket is: 5.0 Kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 49 N (Newtons) Show more…
