Which requires more work: lifting a 50-kg sack a vertical distance of 2 m or lifting a 25-kg sack a vertical distance of 4 m?

Respuesta :

Eduard22sly

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.
