A uniform rope of length \(4 \mathrm{~m}\) and mass \(0.4 \mathrm{~kg}\) is held on a frictionless table in such a way that \(0.6 \mathrm{~m}\) of the rope is hanging over the edge. The work done to pull the hanging part of the rope on the to the table is, (Assume \(\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\) )

  1. A \(0.36 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(0.24 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(0.12 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(0.18 \mathrm{~J}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.18 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text {Hint : } W=\frac{\mathrm{mgL}}{2}=\frac{0.4}{4} \times 0.6 \times 10 \times \frac{0.6}{2} \\ & =0.1 \times 0.6 \times 10 \times 0.3 \\ & =0.18 \mathrm{~J} \end{aligned}\)
