Question

A porter lifts a luggage of 15 kg from the ground and

puts it on his head 1.5m above the ground. Calculate

the work done by him on the luggage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of luggage = 15kg

Height of luggage= 1.5 m

work done is = force× distance

Force= weight of luggage

=m×g

so work done = m×g× h

= 15 ×10×1.5

so work done is 225J

Answer 2

Answer:

The work done by porter on the luggage​ is 225 J

Explanation:

Given,

A porter lifts a luggage of mass = 15 kg from the ground.

It's on his head 1.5 m above the ground.

To find: The work done by him on the luggage​

Solution:

here, Force is due to the weight of the luggage.

i.e F = mg , where m = mass of luggage and g = accerleration due to gravity

or, F = 15 * 10 = 150 N

Work done can be given as:

W = F * s

where, F = force and s = displacement i.e 1.5 m

W = 150 * 1.5 = 225 J

Therefore, The work done by porter on the luggage​ is 225 J.
