Answer #1

THINK:

The product of force and velocity gives the power.

The work done against gravitational pull is equal to the potential energy.

RESEARCH:

The work done against gravitational pull that is the potential energy of the book is

…… (1)

The power supplied to the book to lift with constant velocity is given by,

…… (2)

Here the gravitational force acting on the book is,

CALCULATE:

Given,

Mass of the physics text book is,

The book is lifted to a height of,

Constant speed at which book lifted is,

The work done by gravity on the book is calculated by substituting the values in equation (1),

(b)

The gravitational force acting on the book is,

The power supplied to the book to lift it with constant velocity is,
