1. A force of 50 N acts on a body and moves it through a distance of 10 m in the direction of force. Calculate the work done by the force.
2. A man lifts a mass of 30 kg to a height of 5 m. Assuming that the force of gravity on 1 kg mass is 10 N, find the work done by the man.
3. A body, when acted upon by a force of 10 kgf, moves to a distance 0.5 m in the direction of force. Find the work done by the force. Take
1 kgf = 10 N.
4. Two bodies of same masses are placed at heights h and 2h. Compare their gravitational potential energy.
5. Find the gravitational potential energy of 2.5 kg mass kept at a height of 15 m above the ground. The force of gravity on mass 1 kg is
10 N.
6. The gravitational potential energy stored in a box of weight 150 kgf is 1.5 x 104 . Find the height of the box. Take 1 kgf = 10 N
7. The potential energy of a body of mass 0.5 kg increases by 100 J when it is taken to the top of a tower from ground. If force of gravity
on 1 kg is 10 N, what is the height of the tower?
8. A body of mass 60 kg is moving with a speed 50 m/s. Find its kinetic energy.
ANS. 7.5 X 104 J
