    Work done, W = 0 J

    Explanation:

    It is given that,

    Weight of the bucket, W = F = 35 N

    It is lifted vertically 3 m and then returned to its original position. We need to find the work gravity do on the bucket during this process.

    Work done when the bucket is lifted vertically, W₁ = - mgh

    Work done when the bucket returned to its original position, W₂ = + mgh

    Net work done, W = W₁ + W₂

    W = 0 J

    So, the work done on the bucket is zero. Hence, this is the required solution.
