MCQ
Gravitational potential difference between surface of a planet and a point situated at a height of $20\,m$ above its surface is $2\,joule/kg$. If gravitational field is uniform, then the work done in taking a $5\,kg$ body of height $4\,meter$ above surface will be ........ $J$
  • $2$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $40$
  • D
    $10$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$2$
a
The potential difference for a distance of $20 m$ is $2\, joule/kg.$

Now work done $=m \times$ potential difference.

Thus work done for a distance of $4 m$ for a mass $5 k g, W=\frac{4}{20} \times 2 \times 5$

$\Longrightarrow W=2 J$
