6.2N force

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, force is equal to the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration. Mathematically,

Force = mass * acceleration

Given mass of bucket of water = 6.2kg

acceleration of the bucket = 1m/s²

Force exerted on the rope = 6.2 * 1

= 6.2N
