Answer:

36.76m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Weight of the bucket = 20N

Mass = Weight/acceleration due to gravity

Mass = 20/9.8

Mass = 2.04kg

Applied force = 75N

Get the acceleration

According to Newton's second law:

F = ma

a = F/m

a = 75/2.04

a = 36.76m/s²

Hence the acceleration of the bucket is 36.76m/s²
