A man wants to draw a bucket full of water in two different ways. As shown in figure 'a' he draws the bucket directly and as shown in figure (b) he uses a pulley. The weight of the man is 50kg and the bucket with full water weighs 25kg. Find the action on the floor by the man in the two cases. (Take `g=10ms^(-2)`).
