A. q1 is negative and q2 is positive; the magnitudes are equal.
B. q1 and q2 have the same sign; the magnitudes are equal.
C. q1 is positive and q2 is negative; the magnitude of q1 is greater than the magnitude of q2.
D. q1 is negative and q2 is positive; the magnitude of q1 is less than the magnitude of q2.
E. q1 and q2 have the same sign; the magnitude of q1 is greater than the magnitude of q2.

A bucket of water with total mass 23 kg is attached to a rope, which in turn, is wound around a 0.080-m radius cylinder at the top of a well. A crank with a turning radius of 0.25 m is attached to the end of the cylinder. What minimum force directed perpendicular to the crank handle is required to just raise the bucket? (Assume the rope's mass is negligible, that the cylinder turns on
frictionless bearings, and that g = 9.8 m/s2.) a. 45 N c. 72 N b. 68 N d. 135 N
