F = 300 × x = 400(8.75- x)
Solving we get, x = 5 cm x B = 8.75- 5 = 3.75cm

Hence, mgh 1 = E 1 (from given figure)
mgh 1 = 0.75 mg (10) ; h 1 = 7.5m

35. (2) The work is done against gravity so it is equal to the change in potential energy. W = E p = mgh
For a fixed height, work is proportional to weight lifted.
Since Johnny weighs twice as much as Jane he works twice as hard to get up the hill.
Power is work done per unit time. For Johnny this is W/ ∆ t. Jane did half the work in half the time, (1/2
W)/(1/2 ∆ t) = W/ ∆ t which is the same power delivered by Johnny.
36. (1) Given, Velocity=v 1 force=F
We know that work done is equal to the product of force and displacement

41. (2) P = 10 kW = 10000 W
Fuel consumption = 1g/s
Calorific value = 2 kcal/g
∴ Energy produced = 2 kcal/s
Input power

55. (4) As bob B is of same material and same mass as the bob A, therefore, on elastic collision, their
velocities are exchanged.
Bob A comes to rest and B moves with the velocity of A.
