Question
A girl is carrying a school bag of 3 kg mass on her back and moves 200 m on a levelled road. If the value of g be 10 m/s2, the work done by the girl against the gravitational force will be :
Options
6000 J
0.6 J
0 J
6 J
Solution
The girl is moving with the bag on a levelled road. Her direction of motion is perpendicular to the direction of gravitational force. So, work done by the girl against gravity is zero. Therefore, the answer is 0 J
