A 6 kg bucket of water is raised from a well by a rope. If the upward acceleration of the bucket is 2.4 m/s2, find the force exerted by the rope on the bucket of water.
netforce= mass*acceleration+mg
solve for net force.
To find the force exerted by the rope on the bucket of water, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force exerted on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.
In this case, the mass of the bucket of water is given as 6 kg and the upward acceleration is given as 2.4 m/s^2. So, we can use the formula:
Force = Mass x Acceleration
Substituting the given values:
Force = 6 kg x 2.4 m/s^2
Now, multiplying the mass (6 kg) by the acceleration (2.4 m/s^2):
Force = 14.4 N
Therefore, the force exerted by the rope on the bucket of water is 14.4 Newtons.
