A body of mass 50 kg is lifted to a height of 20 m from the ground in the two different ways as shown in the figures. The ratio of work done against the gravity in both the respective cases, will be :
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Work done by gravity is independent of path. It depends only on vertical displacement so work done in both cases will be same.
