Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 5
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{F}_1}{\mathrm{~A}_1}=\frac{\mathrm{F}_2}{\mathrm{~A}_2}, \frac{100}{6}=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{1500}, \mathrm{~F}=\frac{50}{3} \times 1500 \\ & \mathrm{~F}=50 \times 500=25 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~N} \\ & \omega=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} . \overrightarrow{\mathrm{S}}=25 \times 10^3 \times \frac{20}{100} \\ & =5 \times 10^3=5 \mathrm{~kJ}\end{aligned}\)
