Answer:
Explanation:
Force of friction on M mass so that it will move down the inclined plane is given as
now if it is moving down the inclined plane at constant speed
so we will have
on other side the mass "m" will go up at constant speed
so we have
so we have
so we have
for special case when m = M
then we have
AS
work done =W = F.d = F d cosФ (Ф is angle between force F and displacement d) If a body/object is moving on a smooth surface (friction-less surface ) .There is no force acting on that body. F=0 so W=FdcosФ= (0)dcosФ ⇒ W=0
Now if a body is facing some amount of force but under the action of force there is no displacement covered. d=0 so W =FdcosФ= F(0)cosФ ⇒W=0
example: A person is applying a force on rigid wall but wall remains at rest there is no displacement occurs in wall.
The third term upon which work done dependent is angle between force and displacement i.e Ф. If Ф=90° then W= FdcosФ= Fdcos90⇒ W=0 ( as cos 90°=0)
