प्रश्न
A boy of mass 40 kg climbs up the stairs and reaches the roof at a height 8 m in 5 s. Calculate:
- the force of gravity acting on the boy,
- the work done by him against the force of gravity,
- the power spent by boy. (Take g = 10 m s-2)

उत्तर
Mass of boy = 40 kg, Vertical height moved, h = 8 m, Time taken, t = 5s.
(i) Force of gravity on the boy F = mg
= 40 kg × 10 m/s-2
= 400 N
(ii) Work done against gravity, W = mgh
= 400 × 8
= 3200 J
(iii) Power = `"work"/"Time" = "mgh"/"t"`
`= (3200 " J")/(5 " s")`
= 640 W

A truck driver can load oil drums into the back of the truck by pushing them up a sloping plank, or by lifting them directly. Each drum has a mass of 80 kg, the plank is 3 m long, and the back of the truck is 0.8 m above the ground.
(i) How much force would be needed to lift a drum into the truck directly/without using the plank? (Take g = 10 m/s2)
(ii) How much energy would be required in lifting the drum into the truck without the plank?
