6. An empty bucket of mass 500 g is hung from its handle on a 12 m string attached from two points 10.39 m apart on a horizontal beam. The

bucket is free to slide along the rope to find its resting point. The maximum tension the string can take before breaking is 100 N. The bucket is slowly filled with water. What is the volume of water that the bucket can hold before the rope breaks? Draw a diagram. List the known variables. List any assumptions.
