A bucket that has a mass of 15 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 10 meter tall building. You have a rope that has a mass of 0.2 kg/m that must be secured to the bucket. It takes 1 meter of rope to secure the bucket. Once the bucket reaches the top of the building it only has mass 12 kg because there was a hole in the bottom and sand was leaking out at a constant rate while it was being lifted to the top of the building. Find the work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building.

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
