A person trying to lose weight (dieter) lifts a \(10~\text{kg}\) mass, one thousand times, to a height of \(0.5~\text m\) each time. Assume that the potential energy lost each time she lowers the mass is dissipated. How much work does she do against the gravitational force?
1. \(29,000~\text J\)
2. \(49,000~\text J\)
3. \(21,000~\text J\)
4. \(18,000~\text J\)

A 1 kg block situated on a rough incline is connected to a spring of spring constant $100 N m^{-1}$ as shown in the figure. The block is released from rest with the spring in the unstretched position. The block moves 10 cm down the incline before coming to rest. The coefficient of friction between the block and the incline is:

(Assume that the spring has a negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.)

1. 0.03
2. 0.14
3. 0.11
4. 0.08

4. Zero

A man carries a load on his head through a distance of 5 m. The maximum amount of work is done when he:

1. moves it over an inclined plane.

2. moves it over a horizontal surface.

3. lifts it vertically upwards.

4. None of these

A body moves a distance of 10 m along a straight line under the action of a force 5 N. If the work done is 25 joule, the angle which the force makes with the direction of motion of body is
