Name the forces acting on a plastic bucket containing water held above ground level in your hand. Discuss why the forces acting on the bucket do not bring a change in its state of motion.  

Answer:

Gravitational and muscular forces are acting on a plastic bucket. The forces acting on the bucket do not bring a change in its state of motion because muscular force acts upward direction and gravitational force acts downward direction. Hence net force on bucket is zero.
