Part a of the drawing shows a bucket of water suspended from the pulley of a well; the tension in the rope is 96.5 N. Part b shows the same bucket of water being pulled up from the well at a constant velocity. What is the tension in the rope in part b?

Explanation / Answer

in case a

two ropes are supporting the weight

hence,

2*tension = weight

=> weight = 2*96.5 = 193 N

in case b

only one rope is supporting the weight

tension = weight

=> tension = 193 N = ANSWER
