Name the force acting on a plastic bucket containing water held above ground level in your hand. Discuss why the forces acting on the bucket do not bring a change in its state of motion.

Explanation

The forces that act on the bucket are as follows:
(a) The pressure of water contained in it, exerted on its wall and on base of the bucket.
(b) Force of gravity by earth.
(c) The water is contained in a bucket and the pressure of force is exerted on the wall of the bucket, which is sufficient to take it as a force.
As the bucket is held in my hand, so we over come the force of gravity of the earth. That is why these forces do not bring a change in the state of motion.
