Power spent by a body depends on the time for which it does work.
No work is done by a force if the body
In which of the following cases is work being done:
- A boy pushing a heavy rock
- A boy climbing up the stairs
- A coolie standing with a box on his head
- A girl moving on the road.
State two factors on which the work done on a body depends.
A body, when acted upon by a force of 10 kgf, moves to a distance 0.5 m in the direction of force. Find the work done by the force. Take 1 kgf = 10 N.
A boy of weight 40 kgf climbs up the 15 steps, each 15 cm high in 10 s and a girl of weight 20 kgf does the same in 5 s. Compare:
- the work done, and
- the power developed by them. Take g = 10 N kg-1.
