Its physics, who knew?

Question

A 5.8 kg bucket of water is raised from a well
by a rope.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 :
If the upward acceleration of the bucket is
4.5 m/s^2, find the force exerted by the rope
on the bucket of water. Answer in units of N.

Answer 1

It's homework help, so here's a bit of help

F=m*a

If you draw a free body diagram of the bucket, you will see that the force of gravity and the additional force caused by the acceleration upward is the force in the rope:

F=5.8*(9.81+4.5)
