The work done in moving a body of mass \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) to a height of \(4 \mathrm{~m}\) from the surface of the earth is
(Acceleration due to gravity \(=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) )

  1. A \(10 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(20 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(40 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(80 \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(80 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of body, M=2 kg Height, \(\mathrm{H}=4 \mathrm{~m}\) work done to lift a body = potential energy of body \[ \begin{aligned} & \therefore W=m g h=2 \times 10 \times 4 \\ & W=80 \mathrm{~J} \end{aligned} \]
