Question

g Suppose Howard is pulling a bucket of bricks up along the side of a building with a rope. The bricks have a mass of 20 kg and are not touching the side of the building. With what tension force must Howard achieve to (briefly) keep an acceleration rate of 2.0 m/s2 on the bucket of bricks?

Answer 1

Answer:

= 236N

Explanation:

tension T = mg + ma

Given that,

m = 20kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

a = 2.0 m/s²

T = m(g + a)

T = 20( 9.8 + 2.0)

  = 20(11.8)

  = 236N
