A bucket tied to a string is lowered at ...

A bucket tied to a string is lowered at a constant acceleration of `g//4`. If mass of the bucket is m and it is lowered by a distance /then find then work done by the string on the bucket.

A

`(1//4) mg d`

B

`(-3//4)mgd`

C

`(-4//3)mgd`

D

`(4//3)mgd`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Let tension in string be `T`, then work done by tension `T=-Td`
Applying newton's second law on the bucket
`mg-T=m((g)/(a))`
`or T=(3)/(4)mg`

`:.` required work down `=-(3)/(4) mg d`

A bucket full of water weighs 5 kg, it is pulled from a well 20 m deep. There is a small hole in the bucket through which water leaks at a constant rate. If it is observed that for every meter the bucket loses 0.2 kg mass of water, then the total work done in pulling the bucket up from the well is [g = 10ms^(-2) ]
