प्रश्न
It takes 20 s for a person A of mass 50 kg to climb up the stairs, while another person B does the same in 15 s. Compare the Work done.
उत्तर
The work done by two persons A and B, does not depend upon time. Therefore, both will do the same amount of work. Thus, we arrive to the conclusion that
Work done by A = Force × height = mgh
Work done by B = Force × height = mgh
∴ mgh = mgh
`"Work done by A"/"Work done by B" = 1/1` = 1 : 1

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)
