Lifting a 50-kg sack through a vertical distance of 2 m requires same amount of work as lifting a 25-kg sack through a vertical distance of 4 m
How to determine which will require more work
To determine which will require more work, we shall determine the work done in lifting each sack. Details below:
i. Work done in lifting 50 Kg
- Mass (m) = 50 Kg
- Height (h) = 2 m
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
- Workdone (Wd) =?
Wd = mgh
Wd = 50 × 9.8 × 2
Workdone = 980 J
ii. Work done in lifting 25 Kg
- Mass (m) = 25 Kg
- Height (h) = 4 m
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
- Workdone (Wd) =?
Wd = mgh
Wd = 25 × 9.8 × 4
Workdone = 980 J
SUMMARY
- Work done in lifting 50 Kg is 980 J
- Work done in lifting 25 Kg is 980 J
Thus, equal amount of work done is needed.
