Define non conservative force |
| Answer» Path dependent forces<br>Non-\xa0conservative forces\xa0are\xa0forces\xa0which act on a body and the work done on the body by the\xa0force\xa0is dependent on the path followed. During the motion of a body due to\xa0non-conservative force, mechanical energy is dissipated, so we can call the\xa0non-conservative forces\xa0as dissipative courses.<br>A non-conservative force is the one for which work done depends on the path. For eg, frictional force. Friction does more work on the block if one slides it along the indirect path across the tabletop. The longer the path, the more work friction does. | |
