Question

A boy of mass 50 kg walks up a staircase of 10 steps each 15 cm high. Calculate the work done.​

Answer 1

750J

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution;

M=50kg, g=10m/s

Distance=15×10÷100

=1.5m

W=M×g×h

=50×10×1.5

=750J

Answer 2

735 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Total height reached(displaced)=10x15 cm

= 10 x 15/100 m

= 1.5 m

Workdone = F.S (force x displacement)

Here, the boy is traveling against the gravitation force(=mg) , and traveled a height of 1.5m

Hence,

Workdone = 50 x 9.8 x 1.5 J

= 735 J
