Given information

Given that the bucket has a mass of, and the tension on the rope is given as .

To Determine: The magnitude and direction of acceleration of bucket moving in the vertical plane.

Solution: Bucket is moving in an upward direction with acceleration,

Explanation: 

Given:

Mass of the bucket,

Tension in the rope,

Formula: 

According to Newton’s second law of motion:

Where, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

This problem can be analysed by drawing the free body diagram of the bucket.

Here, the tensional force acts upward while the weight of the bucket is in the downward direction.
