Turning effect of forces — practice question

A rope is used to haul a bucket of water up from a well. Fig. 8.1 shows the rope coiling onto a cylinder as the handle is rotated. The empty bucket has a mass of $1.0\,\text{kg}$.
(a)[2]

Finish the statements about mass by inserting the missing words. The mass of a body measures the amount of [BLANK] in the body. It resists a change in the state of [BLANK] of the body.

(b(i))[1]

Explain what is meant by a gravitational field.

(b(ii))[3]

Determine the combined weight of the bucket and the water.

(c(i))[2]

Calculate this moment.

(c(ii))[1]

Calculate the minimum force on the handle that will balance this moment.

(d(i))[2]

Suggest two reasons why the exerted force is larger than the calculated value.

(d(ii))[3]

State the energy changes that occur as the bucket is lifted at constant speed.

(e)[1]

State what can be concluded about the forces acting on the bucket while it rises at constant speed.
