Question

You lift a suitcase from the floor and keep it on a table. The work done by you on the suitcase does not depend on
(a) the path taken by the suitcase
(b) the time taken by you in doing so
(c) the weight of the suitcase
(d) your weight

Answer 1

(a) the path taken by the suitcase
(b) the time taken by you in doing so
(d) your weight

Work done by us on the suitcase is equal to the change in potential energy of the suitcase.
i.e., W = mgh
Here, mg is the weight of the suitcase and h is height of the table.

Hence, work done by the conservative (gravitational) force does not depend on the path.
