Answer:
The rope exerts 34.79 N force on the bucket.
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the bucket, [tex]m=3.55\textrm{ kg}[/tex]
Acceleration due to gravity, [tex]g=9.8\textrm{ }m/s^{2}[/tex]
Speed of the bucket is constant.
Since the speed of the bucket is not changing, there will be no acceleration produced and thus net acceleration of the bucket is 0 m/s².
Now, the forces acting on the bucket are:
1. Upward tension force by the rope, [tex]T[/tex].
2. Downward weight of the bucket, [tex]W=mg[/tex].
As the acceleration of the bucket is zero, therefore, upward force is equal to downward force.
So, [tex]T=mg=3.55\times 9.8=34.79\textrm{ N}[/tex]
Hence, the tension force on the bucket by the rope is 34.79 N.
