Question

If you lift two loads up one story, how much work do you do compared to lifting just one load up one story?

Answer 1

Answer:a

Explanation:

We have to lift the load two loads up one story, so energy required is

let m be the mass of each load and h is the height of each story

Energy $E_1=2\times m\times g\times \h$

$E_1=2mgh$

Here energy gained is the potential energy which depends upon the datum(floor).

For lifting one load up one story

Energy required

$E_2=mgh$

thus $E_2$ is half of $E_1$

So option a is correct
