    Refer to the diagram shown below

    Given:

    m = 2.8 kg, the mass of the bucket

    a = 3.1 m/s², the acceleration of the bucket

    Therefore

    W = 2.8*9.8 = 27.44 N, the weight of the bucket.

    Let T = the tension in the rope.

    From the free body diagram, the net force accelerating the bucket is

    T - W = m*a

    That is,

    T = W + m*a

    = 27.44 + 2.8*3.1 N

    = 36.12 N

    Answer: d. 36.1 N

    The problem indicate that the mass is moving upward, calculate first the "Weight" of an object, W=mg W = (2.8Kg) (3.2m/s²) = 8.68N. The tension on the wire will be proportional to the weight of an object because "Tension" is acting upward and weight is acting "downward".
