Free fall acceleration?

Posted on 2016-04-06 19:08:00 in Physics by KIMBERLI

A bucket of water of mass 14.3kg is suspended by a rope wrapped around a windlass, that is a solid cylinder with diameter 0.350m with mass 11.7kg . The cylinder pivots on a frictionless axle through its center. The bucket is released from rest at the top of a well and falls a distance 11.0m to the water. You can ignore the weight of the rope. 


Part A 
What is the tension in the rope while the bucket is falling? 
Take the free fall acceleration to be g = 9.80m/s2 . 

Part B 
With what speed does the bucket strike the water? 
Take the free fall acceleration to be g = 9.80m/s2 . 

Part C 
What is the time of fall? 
Take the free fall acceleration to be g = 9.80m/s2 . 

Part D 
While the bucket is falling, what is the force exerted on the cylinder by the axle? 
Take the free fall acceleration to be g = 9.80m/s2 .
