g Suppose Howard is pulling a bucket of bricks up along the side of a building with a rope. The bricks have a mass of 20 kg and

are not touching the side of the building. With what tension force must Howard achieve to (briefly) keep an acceleration rate of 2.0 m/s2 on the bucket of bricks?

The tension calculated is 236 N. The formula for tension is T = mg + ma. With the following values: m = 20 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², and a = 2.0 m/s², we find T = m(g + a) = 20(9.8 + 2.0) = 20(11.8) = 236 N.
