(a) free-body diagram of bucket:
^
/ T
/
<----R-----[bu]
|
|
| W
T - tension in string
W - wt. of bucket
R - air resistance
(b)
T₁| /
| / T
|/
<----R-----[bu] --------T₂
|
|
| W
T₁ = W
T cos 30° = 300(9.81)
∴ tension in string,T = 300(9.81)/cos 30° = 3398.3 N(to 1 dec. pl.)
(c) Since the bucket of water is moving horizontally at constant speed,
the horizontal resultant force acting on it = 0
∴ air resistance, R = T₂ = T sin 30° = 3398.3 (1/2) = 1699.2 N(to 1 dec.pl.)
