Question

Pulling up on a rope, you lift a 4.35-kg bucket of water from a well with an acceleration of 1.78m/s^2. What is the tension in the rope?

Answer 1

Force down = 4.35*9.81
Force up = T
T - 4.35 * 9.81 = 4.35 * 1.78
T = 4.35 (9.81+1.78)

Answer 2

A wooden frame weighing 2N is hung on a nail using 2 ropes, find tension in the ropes.
