A 4.0 kg bucket of water is raised from a well

by a rope.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s?.

If the upward acceleration of the bucket is

2.8 m/s², find the force exerted by the rope

on the bucket of water.

    Draw a free body diagram of the bucket. There are two forces:

    Tension force T pulling up.

    Weight force mg pulling down.

    Sum of forces in the y direction:

    ∑F = ma

    T - mg = ma

    T = mg + ma

    T = m (g + a)

    Given m = 4.0 kg, g = 9.81 m/s², and a = 2.8 m/s²:

    T = (4.0 kg) (9.81 m/s² + 2.8 m/s²)

    T = 50.44 N
