प्रश्न
A man lifts a mass of 20 kg to a height of 2.5 m. Assuming that the force of gravity on 1 kg mass is 10 N, find the work done by the man.

उत्तर
Mass = 20 kg h = 2.5 m
Force of gravity on a mass of 1 kg = 10 N
Force of gravity on a mass of 20kg
F = mg = 20 × 10 = 200 N
Work done in lifting the mass to height h = 20 m is
W = F × h
= 200 N × 2.5 m
= 200 × 25/10 =500 J

When do we say that work is done?
A force of 30 N acts on a body and moves it through a distance of 5 m in the direction of force. Calculate the work done by the force.
A machine raises a load of 750 N through a height of 16 m in 5 s. calculate:
- energy spent by machine,
- power at which the machine works.
Write the formula for the work done on a body when a force acts on the body in the direction of its displacement. Give the meaning of each symbol which occurs in the formula.
A boy of mass m climbs up a staircase of vertical height h.
- What is the work done by the boy against the force of gravity?
- What would have been the work done if he uses a lift in climbing the same vertical height?
