Answer:
The tension in the light rope must be equal to the weight of the bucket
Explanation:
Given that,
Constant velocity of bucket and direction of bucket in downward
We need to find the tension in the rope
Using given data,
When a bucket moves downward with a constant velocity then the net force does not applied on the bucket.
So, The weight of the bucket will be equal to the tension in the light rope
In mathematically,
[tex]T=mg[/tex]
Where, T = tension
m = mass of bucket
g = acceleration due to gravity
Hence, The tension in the light rope must be equal to the weight of the bucket.
