Give an example when work done by the force of gravity acting on a body is zero even though the body gets displaced from its initial position.
A body, when acted upon by a force of 10 kgf, gets displaced by 0.5 m. Calculate the work done by the force, when the displacement is (i) in the direction of force, (ii) at an angle of 60° with the force, and (iii) normal to the force. (g = 10 N kg-1)
State the condition when a force produces
(i) linear motion.
(ii) rotational motion, in a body.
A pump is used to lift 600 kg of water from a depth of 75 m in 10s. Calculate:
- The work done by the pump,
- the power at which the pump works, and
- The power rating of the pump if its efficiency is 40%. (Take g = 10m s-2).
`["Hint" : "Efficiency" = "useful power"/"power input"]`
What do you understand by work? Is work a scalar or a vector quantity?
State the condition when the work done by the force is positive
The world record for weight lifting was held by Sergei Didyk of the USSR. He lifted 261 kg to a height of 2.3 m in 4s; find:
(a) Weight lifted by him
(b) Work done by him
(c) Power developed by him. (g = 10m/s2)
State the C.G.S. unit of work. How it is related to its S.I. unit?
