Question

A 3.00 kg bucket of water is raised with an upward acceleration of 2.20 m/s2 from a well by means of an attached rope. What is the tension in the rope

Answer 1

F = M a

M = 3 kg

a = 2.2 m/s^2

T = tension in rope

T - M g = M a Where T - M g is the net force on the bucket

T = M (g + a) = 3 kg * (9/80 + 2.20) m/s^2 = 36 Newtons
