A rigid body of mass m kg is lifted uniformly by a man to a height of one metre in 30 sec. Another man lifts the same mass uniformly to the same height in 60 sec. The work done on the body against gravitation by them are in ratio (A) 1 : 2 (B) 1 : 1 (C) 2 : 1 (D) 4 : 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha.. i always ask this question in class :D..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool! hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried but i failed i was getting 4:1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

who do you think did more work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

focus the relation between work and power .. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh , i say both did equal work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly.. then if both did equal work what should be the ratio of their work done?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1:1 !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But how will you prove it algebraicly i need to show steps man

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.. how much work did the first person do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@oksuz_ can u walk him through that... i have to step out for a while!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used s=1/2 at^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For displacement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@oksuz_

@sidsiddhartha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can just use E=mgh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know g,m and h ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, mgh:mgh lol 1:1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can we do it without using mgh formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the work done by gravity depends only on linear distance between initial point and final point. Therefore it does not depend on the trajectory and the time.. The best way to use E=mgh formula..
