If the $53\mathrm{lb}$ bucket is released from rest, determine its velocity after it has fallen a distance of $7\mathrm{ft}$. Neglect the pulley's weight. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the velocity is downward and negative value if the velocity is upward. The windlass $A$ can be considered as a $29\mathrm{lb}$ cylinder, while the spokes are slender rods, each having a weight of $1\mathrm{ft}$. (Figure 1) 1 of 1
