When do we say that work is done? Write the formula for the work done by a body in moving up against gravity. Give the meaning of each symbol which occurs in it.

Work is said to be done under the following conditions:

i) When a force acts on a body


ii) When there is displacement of the body that is caused by the applied force along the direction of the applied force .i.e., object is displaced


Formula for the work done by a body in moving up against gravity


Work done = mgh,


Where m is mass,


g is acceleration due to gravity and


h is height
