Water is drawn from a well in a `5kg` drum of capacity `55L` by two ropes connected to the top of the drum. The linear mass density of each rope is `0.5kgm^-1`. The work done in lifting water to the ground from the surface of water in the well `20m` below is `[g=10ms^-2]`A. (a) `1.4xx10^4J`B. (b) `1.5xx10^4J`C. (c) `9.8xx10xx6J`D. (d) `18J`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Work done in lifting water and drum is
`60xx10xx20J=12000J`
Total mass of ropes `=40xx0.5kg=20kg`
Work done in the case of ropes is
`20xx10xx10=2000J`
Total work done `=14000J`
