The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements and derive the necessary conclusions step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that the work done in bringing a body down from the top to the base along a frictionless inclined plane is the same as the work done in bringing it down from the vertical side. - We need to consider the forces acting on the body and the path taken. 2. **Defining Work Done**: - Work done (W) is defined as the integral of the force (F) dot the displacement (dr), i.e., \( W = \int \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{r} \). 3. **Analyzing the Inclined Plane**: - For a frictionless inclined plane, the only force doing work is the component of gravitational force acting along the incline. - The gravitational force acting on the body is \( \vec{F} = m\vec{g} \), where \( m \) is the mass of the body and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 4. **Calculating Work Done on the Incline**: - When the body moves down the incline, we can express the work done by gravity as: \[ W = \int_{0}^{h} mg \cos(\alpha) \, dh \] - Here, \( \alpha \) is the angle between the gravitational force and the direction of displacement. 5. **Calculating Work Done Vertically**: - When the body is brought down vertically, the work done by gravity is: \[ W = mgh \] - This is because the entire weight of the body acts in the direction of the displacement. 6. **Comparing Work Done**: - In both cases, whether the body is moved down the incline or vertically, the work done by gravity results in the same expression: \[ W = mgh \] - Thus, Statement 1 is true. 7. **Understanding Statement 2**: - Statement 2 states that work is defined as \( \int \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{r} \). - This is a correct definition of work in physics. 8. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are true, and Statement 2 correctly explains Statement 1. Therefore, the correct option is that both statements are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1. ### Final Answer: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1. ---
