प्रश्न
A coolie is moving on a road with a luggage on his head. Does he perform work against the force of gravity? Give reason for your answer.
उत्तर
No there is no work done against the force of gravity because the displacement and the direction of force are at an angle of 90°.
Explanation:
Walking involves doing the same amount of work against gravity as standing because the weight of the body is the same.
So, the coolie does work against gravity equal to the total weight he is carrying (his body weight and the weight of whatever he is wearing, carrying, etc).

A coolie, with a load of 30 kg on his head, walks on the platform. If he walks a distance of 60 m, what is the work done by him?
Why is less effort needed to lift a load over an inclined plane as compared to lifting the load directly?
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?
(iii) If the force needed to push the drum up the plank is 300 N, why is this less than the answer to part (i)?
(iv) When the truck is loaded, the driver drives off. List the major energy changes that take place in moving the truck.
(v) The driver has to stop at the factory gates. What happens to the kinetic energy of the truck?
