Important Questions on Work
A body, constrained to move in y – direction, is subjected to a force given by The work done by this force in moving the body through a distance of 10 m along y – axis is

A uniform force of acts on a particle of mass . The particle displaces from position to . The work done by the force on the particle is

Find the work done by the gravity on the man of mass while going up the escalator of height .(Take )

A block of mass is attached to one end of a massless rod of length . The rod is fixed to a horizontal plane at the other end such that the block and rod are free to revolve on a horizontal plane. The coefficient of friction between the block and surface is . Block is made to rotate with uniform angular speed by applying a constant external force in tangential direction on the block. The work done by external force till the rod rotates by is

Mark True or False and choose the appropriate option. 1. A porter while picking the load from the ground to keep it on its head does the negative work against gravity. 2. A waiter while carrying dishes without lowering or raising the hand from the kitchen to the table position does not do any work against gravity. 3. While Switching the Sofa chair from one floor to another floor and then bringing it back to the same floor work done against gravity is zero. 4. An old man carries a bag to the first floor in 5 minutes whereas a young man carries the same bag to the same first floor in 15 sec. The old man does more work.
