Q.2. A particle is pulled a distance l up a rough plane inclined at an angle α to the horizontal by a string inclined at an angle β to the plane (α + β < 90°). If the tension in the string is T, the normal reaction between the particle and the plane is N, the frictional force is F and the weight of the particle is W. Write down expressions for the work done by each of these forces.
Ans.

Q.3. A bucket tied to a string is lowered at a constant acceleration of g/4. If the mass of the bucket is m and is lowered by a distance l then find the work done by the string on the bucket.
Ans:
∴
Work done by string
Q.4. A 1.8 kg block is moved at constant speed over a surface for which coefficient of friction It is pulled by a force F acting at 45° with horizontal as shown in figure. The block is displaced by 2 m. Find the work done on the block by (a) the force F (b) friction (c) gravity.
Ans. (a) 7.2 j (b) - 7.2 J (c) zero
μN = F cos 45° …(i)
Substituting value of N from Eq. (ii) in Eq. (i).
Work done by force
Work done by friction
Work done by gravity
Q.5. A small block of mass 1 kg is kept on a rough inclined wedge of inclination 45° fixed in an elevator. The elevator goes up with a uniform velocity v = 2 m/s and the block does not slide on the wedge. Find the work done by the force of friction on the block in 1 s. (g = 10 m/s2)
Ans 10 J
F = mg sin 45°
Displacement of lift in 1s = 2 m
Work done by force of friction
Q.6. Two equal masses are attached to the two ends of a spring of force constant k. The masses are pulled out symmetrically to stretch the spring by a length 2x0 over its natural length. Find the work done by the spring on each mass.
Ans.
Total work-done by spring on both masses
= PE of the spring when stretched by 2x0
∴ Work done by spring on each mass
Q.7. Force acting on a particle varies with displacement as shown in figure. Find the work done by this force on the particle from x = - 4 m t o x = + 4 m .
Ans: 30J
Work done = Area under the curve
= A1 + A2 + A3 + A4![]()
= 30 Nm
