Work is done in lifting the weight,but no work is required to be done in holding it up.

Vedclass · Answer

(C) In physics,work is defined as the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force $(W = Fs \cos 	heta)$.$(i)$ When the weightlifter lifts the weight,there is a displacement $(s > 0)$ in the direction of the applied force. Therefore,work is done $(W = Fs > 0)$.$(ii)$ When the weightlifter holds the weight stationary,the displacement is zero $(s = 0)$. Since work requires displacement,the work done while holding the weight is zero $(W = F 	imes 0 = 0)$.

$A$ weightlifter lifts a weight off the ground and holds it up.

$A$ body of mass $m$ kg is lifted by a man to a height of one metre in $30\, s$. Another man lifts the same mass to the same height in $60\, s$. The work done by them are in the ratio:

$A$ force $\vec F = (5\hat i + 3\hat j + 2\hat k) \, N$ is applied to a particle which displaces it from its origin to the point $\vec r = (2\hat i - \hat j) \, m$. The work done on the particle in joules is

Due to a force of $(6\hat i + 2\hat j) \text{ N}$,the displacement of a body is $(3\hat i - \hat j) \text{ m}$. The work done is ..... $J$.

$A$ force $\vec{F} = 6\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}$ acts on a particle,causing a displacement $\vec{S} = 2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + x\hat{k}$. If the work done during this displacement is zero,find the value of $x$.

$A$ force of $5 \, N$ acts on a $15 \, kg$ body initially at rest. The work done by the force during the first second of motion of the body is
