Homework Statement
One 3.90 kg paint bucket is hanging by a massless cord from another 3.90 kg paint bucket, also hanging by a massless cord, as shown in figure below. If the buckets are at rest, what is the tension in the lower cord? What is the tension in the upper cord?
Homework Equations
Tlower = ma + W
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
T = (3.9)(0) + 9.8
T= 9.8 N
?
I wasn't getting the lower tension right, so I figured I should find out how to do that first, hence no work for the upper tension.
Any help appreciated
