Okay, so the tension and weight do not equal each other, instead they add up to equal the net force, correct? Meaning if I use that equation to find the net force, I then add the weight to it to find the tension? Meaning it would be -2.09 + 1.1kg = .99N?

I did draw a free body diagram, hopefully correctly. The weight would be pulling it down making the tension to pull up causing the net external force to be 0 since they cancel each other out, right? If I plugged 0 into the equation for the net force then what would I solve for, since there would...

Homework Statement A rope is used to lower a 1.1 kg bucket into a well at an acceleration of 1.9 m/s2. Determine the tension in the rope (in Newtons). Assume that air resistance is negligible and the acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s2. Take the positive direction to be upward. Homework...
