The kinetic energy or mechanical energy of an object is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion. For holding the bucket of water above the ground, we use muscular force. This muscular force acts against the force of gravity that pulls the bucket towards the ground. The two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Therefore, the net force on the bucket is zero. Hence, there is no change in the state of motion. This concept can be clearly understood by the students using the NCERT Solutions created by the faculty at BYJU’S.
