A body of mass $100\ kg$ is lifted up by $10\ m$. Find: (i) the amount of work done. (ii) potential energy of the body at that height $(value\ of\ g=10\ m/s^2)$.
(i). Here given, mass of the body $m=100\ kg$
Height $h=10\ m$
Gravitation acceleration $g=10\ m/s^2$
Therefore, work done to lift the body $W= mgh$
$=100\ kg\times 10\ m/s^2\times 10\ m$
$=100000\ Joule$
Therefore, work done to lift the body to $10\ m$ is $100000\ J$.
(ii). Potential energy of the body at that height will be equal to the work done to lift the body to that height. So, the potential energy will be $100000\ J$.
