A bucket of water of mass 16.0 kg is suspended by a rope wrappedaround a windlass, that is a solid cylinder with diameter 0.320 mwith mass 13.0 kg . The cylinder pivots on a frictionless axlethrough its center. The bucket is released from rest at the top ofa well and falls a distance 10.6 m to the water. You can ignore theweight of the rope.
What is the tension in the rope while the bucket is falling?
Take the free fall acceleration to be g = 9.80 m/s2 .
With what speed does the bucket strike the water?
Take the free fall acceleration to be g = 9.80 m/s2 .
What is the time of fall?
Take the free fall acceleration to be g = 9.80 m/s2 .
While the bucket is falling, what is the force exerted on thecylinder by the axle?
Take the free fall acceleration to be g = 9.80 m/s2 .
