Question

A 5.0 kg bucket of water is raised from a well by a rope. If the upward acceleration of the bucket is 3.0 m/s2, find the tension exerted by the rope. A. 5.0 x 9.8 NB. (5.0 x 9.8) - (5.0 x 3.0) NC. 5.0 ND. (5.0 x 9.8) + (5.0 x 3.0) N

Answer 1

T = (5 ×3) + (5 × 9.8 ) N = 64 N

so option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

mass = 5 kg

acceleration = 3 m/s²

to find out

tension

solution

we know acceleration on bucket is upward so

we say

T - mg = ma

here T is tension , m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and a is acceleration so

T = ma + mg

put here value

T = (5 ×3) + (5 × 9.8 ) N = 64 N

so option D is correct
