A person of mass 50 kg carrying a load of 20 kg walks up a staircase. The width and height of each step are 0.25 m and 0.2 m respectively. What is the work done by the man in walking 20 steps?(Assume g = 10m/s^2)(a) 800 J(b) 1600 J(c) 2000 J(d) 2800 JI got this question in class test.I would like to ask this question from Work Done by a Variable Force topic in chapter Work, Energy and Power of Physics – Class 11

Answer» CORRECT choice is (d) 2800 J

Best explanation: Total MASS (m) = 50 + 20 = 70 kg

Vertical displacement = 0.2 x 20 = 4m

Horizontal displacement = 0.25 x 20 = 5m

Displacement = (5I + 4j) m

Force = m x acceleration

 = 70 x (0i + 10j)

 = (700j) N

Work = Force .Displacement

 = (0i + 700j) . (5i + 4j)

 = 2800 J.
