A porter lifts a heavy suitcase of mass \(80\, {kg}\) and at the destination lowers it down by a distance of \(80\, {cm}\) with a constant velocity. Calculate the workdone by the porter in lowering the suitcase. (take \(g=9.8\, {ms}^{-2}\) ) (In \({J}\))

  1. A \(+627.2 {J}\)
  2. B \(-62720.0 {J}\)
  3. C \(784.0 {J}\)
  4. D \(-627.2 {J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-627.2 {J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(W_{\text {Porter }}+W_{m g}=\Delta K . E_{.}=0\) \(W_{\text {Porter }}=-W_{{mg}}=-m g h\) \(=-80 \times 9.8 \times 0.8=-627.2\, {J}\)
