Question

A loader sack of total mass

Answer 1

Question: A loader sack of total mass

is l000 grams falls down from

the floor of a lorry 200 cm high

Calculate the workdone by the

gravity of the load.​

Answer:

19.6 Joules

Explanation:

Applying

W = mgh........................ Equation 1

Where W = Workdone by gravity on the load, m = mass of the loader sack, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity

From the question,

Given: m = 1000 grams = (1000/1000) kilogram = 1 kg, h = 200 cm = 2 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

W = (1×2×9.8)

W = 19.6 Joules

Hence the work done by gravity on the load is 19.6 Joules
