Hey guys, I am stuck on this problem!
A bucket is placed on a lift that starts moving upwards at velocity v(t) with constant acceleration "a" at time, t=0. A fixed pipe discharges water into the bucket at constant velocity of V. I need to find the time "t" it requires to fill the bucket with water.
The pipe as inlet area of A(1), bucket is cylindrical with bottom area of A(2) and height H.
Any ideas where to start?

Calculate the volume of the bucket. Calculate the volume contained within the column of water (it would hit the end of the pipe if it wasn't a column of just water) that is needed to fill the bucket. Your velocity of the water is constant, add that to the beginning velocity of the bucket (don't start at 0) and do your calculations from there.
