    Given,

    The tension in the rope (T) = 182N

    The mass of the bucket (m) = 15kg

    The acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/sec²

    According to Newton’s second law of motion:-

    mg – T = ma

    mg – ma = T

    m[g-a] = T

    Tension (T) = m(g-a) = 15[9.8 – a]

    182N = 15kg [9.8 m/sec² - a]

    182/15 = (9.8 – a)

    12.13 = 9.8 – a

    Acceleration (a) = 12.13 – 9.8 = 2.33 m/sec²

    ∴ Acceleration (a) = 2.33 m/sec².

    F(net) = 182 - (15 * 9.8)

    ma = 182 - (15 * 9.8)

    a = [182 - (15 * 9.8)] / m

    a = [182 - (15 * 9.8)] / 15

    a = 2.33 m/s²
