A bucket of water is being raised from a well using a rope. If the bucket of water has a mass of 6.2 kg, how much force (in N) must the rope exert on the bucket to accelerate it upward at 1 m/s2

6.2N force

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, force is equal to the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration. Mathematically,

Force = mass × acceleration

Given mass of bucket of water = 6.2kg

acceleration of the bucket = 1m/s²

Force exerted on the rope = 6.2 × 1

= 6.2N

force tends to be low and long diustance masses are high
