Question

a bucket of water experiencing a gravitational force of 525 n is pulled up from a water well. the net force in the y-direction is 45 n. therefore, the magnitude of the force of tension is \boxed{} n

Explanation:

Step1: Identify forces

The bucket has gravitational force \( F_g = 525 \, \text{N} \) downward and tension force \( F_T \) upward. Net force \( F_{net} = 45 \, \text{N} \) upward.

Step2: Apply net force formula

Net force is \( F_{net} = F_T - F_g \). Rearranging for \( F_T \): \( F_T = F_{net} + F_g \).

Step3: Calculate tension

Substitute values: \( F_T = 45 + 525 = 570 \, \text{N} \).

Answer:

570
