    A block of mass m = 2 kg is pulled by a force F = 40 N upwards through a height h = 2 m. Find the work done on the block by the applied force F and its weight mg.(g = 10 m/s)

    A)  80 J, -45 J                           

    B)  40 J, 35 J

    C)   zero, 0.25 J                       

    D)  80 J,-40 J

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Weight \[mg=2\times 10=20N\] Work  done  by  the  applied  force \[{{W}_{F}}=Fh\cos {{0}^{o}}.\] As the angle between force and displacement is \[{{\text{0}}^{\text{o}}}\text{,}\] therefore or    \[{{\text{W}}_{F}}=40\times 2\times 1=80\,J\] Similarly, work done by its weight \[{{W}_{mg}}=mg\times h\times \cos {{180}^{o}}\] \[=20\times 2\times -1=-40\,J\]
