Work Done by a Force
Work Done by a Force: Overview
This topic covers concepts, such as, Work Done by Variable Force, Work as Area under Force-Displacement Graph, Dependence of Work Done on Reference Frame & Work Done by Pseudo Force etc.
Important Questions on Work Done by a Force
A body constrained to move in y – direction, is subjected to a force given by What is the work done by this force in moving the body through a distance of 10 m along y – axis?

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

of work is done in sliding a block slowly up an inclined plane of height . Taking . Work done against friction is:

Johnny and his sister Jane race up a hill. Johnny weighs twice as much as Jane and takes twice the time as long as Jane to reach the top. Compared to Jane:

A block of mass just slides over a distance of . If the coefficient of friction between their surfaces is , the work done against friction is

A cubical vessel of height is full of water. What is the amount of work done in pumping water out of the vessel?
[Take ]

When a force is applied on a moving body, its motion is retarded. Then the work done is

A block of mass just slides over a distance of . If the coefficient of friction between their surfaces is , the work done against friction is

A cubical vessel of height is full of water. What is the amount of work done in pumping water out of the vessel?
[Take ]

When a force is applied on a moving body, its motion is retarded. Then the work done is

A particle is moving in a force field given . Starting from A, the particle has to reach C either along ABC or ADC. Let the work done along the two paths be W1 and W2 respectively. Then, (W1, W2) are

A force acting on an object varies with distance x as shown in the figure. The work done by the force in moving the object from to is

The work done by a body against friction always results in

A time dependent force acts on a particle of mass . If the particle starts from the rest, the work done by the force during the first will be:

Given that, mass of the uniform rope and vessel of water.

Force of is applied on a body of mass . Find the work done in Joules in rd second.

A particle is moved along a path as shown in figure, in presence of a force , Where and are in meter and . The work done on the particle by this force is , find .

A man spends energy in displacing a body by in the direction in which he applies force, in . The force applied and the power spent (in hp) by the man respectively are:

An electric motor of power is used to drive the stirrer in a water bath. If of the energy supplied to the motor is spent in stirring the water, calculate the work done (in joules) on water in one minute.

The power of heart which beats times in a minute is . Calculate the work done (in joules) by the heart for each heartbeat.
