Question

Kg from the ground and put sit on his head 1.5 m above the ground .calculate the work done by him on the luggage

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 15kg

g = 10m/s^2

h = 1.5m

As work done by an object is equal to the potential energy stored in an object.

Therefore,

W = mgh

= 15×10×1.5

= 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.
