I am having a hard time figuring out the step in the equation. For an example, I was given a problem that water flows from the bottom at a velocity of 5.0m/s up to a bucket at (unknown) height. The hose radius is the same so it is not given. Known: V_1=5.0m/s Density p= 1000kg/m^3 Gravity=...

2.6 m/s^2 it looks like I answered my own question...LOL Thanks lolcat, I forgot the negative in the second box.

This is what I got so far...am I correct? f+m1a=m2g-m2a? Then m1a+m2a=m2g-f THEN a(m1+m2)=m2g-f a=(m2g-f)/(m1+m2) ?
