Problem 2: A farmer is using a rope and pulley to lift a bucket of water from the bottom of a well that is h, = 14.5 m deep. The farmer uses a force
F1= 49.5 N to pull the bucket of water directly upwards. The total mass of the bucket of water is m, + my = 3.5 kg.
At a picnic, there is a contest in which hoses are used to shoot water at a beach ball from three directions. As a result, three forces act on the ball, F1, F2, and F3. The magnitude of F1 and F2 are, F1=82.0Newtons and F2=89.0Newtons. Determine the magnitude of F3 and the angle such that the resulting force acting on the ball is Zero.

The third boy in line notices that the branch is barely strong enough to support them. He decides to jump straight up and land back on the branch to break it, spilling all three into the pond. When he starts to carry out his plan, at what precise moment does the branch break? Explain. Suggestion: Pretend to be the third boy and imitate what he does in slow motion. If you are still unsure, stand on a bathroom scale and repeat the suggestion.arrow_forwardThe United States possesses the ten largest warships in the world, aircraft carriers of the Nimitz class.
