A body of mass 50 kg is lifted to a height of 20 m from the ground in the two different ways as shown in the figures. The ratio of work done against the gravity in both the respective cases, will be:
Structure Case-1
Case-1
Structure Case-2
Case-2
  1. (A)✓ Correct
  2. (B)
  3. (C)
  4. (D)

Answer: (A)

Solution

Gravity is a conservative force, so the work done against gravity depends only on the vertical height gained, not on the path. Both cases raise the kg body through the same height m, so the work against gravity is identical. The ratio is .
