प्रश्न
A body is being raised to a height h from the surface of earth. What is the sign of work done by gravitational force?
उत्तर
The gravitational force acts in a downward direction and displacement in an upward direction. therefore, the angle between them is θ = 180°.
∴ Work done by the gravitational force
W = Fs cos 180° = – Fs ......(∵ cos 180° = 1)

The 200 m free-style women's swimming gold medal at Seoul Olympics in 1988 was won by Heike Friendrich of East Germany when she set a new Olympic record of 1 minute and 57⋅56 seconds. Assume that she covered most of the distance with a uniform speed and had to exert 460 W to maintain her speed. Calculate the average force of resistance offered by the water during the swim.
