Question : 30
Total: 66
A man having a box on his head, climbs up a slope and another man having an identical box walks the same distance on a levelled road. Who does more work against the force of gravity and why?
Solution:  
Man climbs up a slope does more work against the force of gravity because potential energy is directly related to the height.
As, P.E. = work done =F×S
=mg×h
while the work done by the man walking on a levelled road is zero.
