Calculate the work done by a student in lifting a 0.5 kg book from the ground and keeping it on a shelf of 1.5 m height.(g = 9.8 m//s^(2))

Answer»

SOLUTION :The mass of the BOOK = 0.5 kg
The force of GRAVITY acting on the book is
EQUAL to .mg.
That is mg ` = 0.5 xx 9.8`
` = 4.9` N
The student has to apply a force equal to that of force of gravity acting on the book in order to lift it.
