Glen has raised a dumbbell of mass 5 kg to a height of 10 m above the ground. Calculate the work done by Glen? (Take $g = 10 m s^{- 2}$ )
500

Open in App

Solution

The correct option is A 500
Mass, $m = 5 k g$
Displacement, $s = 10 m$
Acceleration due to gravity, $g = 10 m s^{- 2}$

Work done, $W = F o r c e \times d i s p l a c e m e n t$
Force needed to lift the dumbbell is its weight (mg).

$W = F \times s$
$= m g \times s$
$= 5 \times 10 \times 10$
$= 500 J$
