Let the data is as following

mass of payload = "m"

mass of Moon = "M"

now we know that we place the payload from the position on the surface of moon to the position of 5r from the surface

So in this case we can say that change in the gravitational potential energy is equal to the work done to move the mass from one position to other

so it is given by

W = U_f - U_i

we know that

U_f = -\frac{GMm}{6r}

U_i = -\frac{GMm}{r}

now from above formula

W = -\frac{GMm}{6r} + \frac{GMm}{r}

W = \frac{5GMm}{6r}

so above is the work done to move the mass from surface to given altitude

In as small room fan of rating 50 watt is used for 10hrs 2bulb of rating 10v are used for 8hrs daily.calculate monthly. electric
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The electric bill for June is Rs198000

Explanation:

Convert volt to watt, but in order to do so I need to know the amps and since it is not provided I converted if the amps was 1.

I multiple 50 with 10 then  with 30 so I know how much watt the fan takes at June.

Since there are 2 light bulb I multiple 10 with 2 than with 8 than with 30.

15000 watts for the fan,

4800 watts for light bulb,

add them and then times it by 10.

Rs198000
