A block of mass 'm', kept on a horizontal surface, is moved through a distance 's'
by applying a horizontal force (F) to it. What is the work done by the normal
reaction?

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{s}}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Fs}\)
  3. C zero
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{S}}{\mathrm{F}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the first case, the centre of gravity is at a height \(=\frac{b}{2}\) \(\therefore\) Work done \(=\mathrm{mgh}=\mathrm{mg}\left(\frac{b}{2}\right)\)
In the second case, the height of the centre of gravity \(=\frac{L}{2}\)
\(\therefore\) Work done \(=m g \frac{L}{2} \therefore L>b\)
\(\therefore\) Extra work done \(\quad=m g\left(\frac{L-b}{2}\right)\)
