A bucket of water has a weight of 40N.A man lifts the bucket up by applying an upward force of 20N .At the same time a child pulls the bucket along the ground with a horizontal force of 10N.draw a free-body diagram showing all the forces exerted on the bucket
Weight :500N
Volume :400cm3
To draw a free-body diagram showing all the forces exerted on the bucket, we need to identify and represent each force acting on the bucket separately. Here are the forces involved:
1. Weight (W): The weight of the bucket (40N) pulls it downwards.
2. Normal Force (N): The surface the bucket rests on exerts an equal and opposite force perpendicular to the surface. In this case, since the bucket is being lifted, there is no normal force.
3. Upward Force (F1): The man is applying an upward force of 20N to lift the bucket.
4. Horizontal Force (F2): The child is pulling the bucket along the ground with a horizontal force of 10N.
To draw the free-body diagram, follow these steps:
1. Draw a labeled arrow pointing downwards to represent the weight of the bucket (W = 40N).
2. Draw a labeled arrow pointing upwards to represent the upward force applied by the man (F1 = 20N).
3. Draw a labeled arrow pointing to the right to represent the horizontal force applied by the child (F2 = 10N).
The final free-body diagram should show three arrows labeled W, F1, and F2, representing the weight, upward force, and horizontal force, respectively. Remember to label each arrow with the appropriate force value.
