don't act like a martyr dooshbag.

you simply didn't provide enough information to get a correct answer.
infact, i am CERTAIN that you don't even understand the question that you're asking.

either way, wtf do you care what the answer is?

at this rate your'd be better off hanging yourself with that 20ft rope.

Are you referring to leverage? The bucket weighs the same no matter where you put it or what you use to lift it.

My 80 some odd year old uncle drew water from a well with a rope, that's WHY I'd like to know. He did this a lot over a z year period.

i'm guessing you must not know either since you haven't answered the question.

it weighs the same yes...but i think hes talking about work/power used to move the bucket which "feels" different in weight as you move it

If you are asking about foot-pounds, that should be easy enough to figure out a rough answer for. If there was some kind of pulley system, that might make things more complicated.

Exactly, how much would it "feel" like was being lifted.

your question is "What, if any would the bucket weigh on a 20 ft rope?"

essentially, everything that you have posted is nonsense...

my initial response of 40lbs is correct.
i will stand by this.

have another wiz do it...the sloshing of the water alone would make the calculation too irritating for me ...i haven't done a physics calculation in nearly 2 decades

40lbs is 40lbs. it doesn't matter if it's dangling from a well or a 1000story sky skyscraper.
