The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the work done by a man lifting a mass to a height of 1 meter in two different time intervals. The key point to note is that the work done is independent of the time taken to lift the mass. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Work Done**: Work done (W) in lifting an object is given by the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g \cdot h \] where: - \( m \) = mass of the object (in kg) - \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)) - \( h \) = height (in meters) 2. **Calculate Work Done in Both Cases**: - In both scenarios, the height \( h \) is 1 meter. - Therefore, the work done in both cases can be calculated as: \[ W_1 = m \cdot g \cdot 1 = mg \quad \text{(for the first case, lifted in 30 seconds)} \] \[ W_2 = m \cdot g \cdot 1 = mg \quad \text{(for the second case, lifted in 60 seconds)} \] 3. **Comparing Work Done**: - Since both \( W_1 \) and \( W_2 \) are equal to \( mg \), we can conclude: \[ W_1 = W_2 \] 4. **Finding the Ratio**: - The ratio of work done by the man in both cases is: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{W_1}{W_2} = \frac{mg}{mg} = 1 \] - Therefore, the ratio of work done is \( 1:1 \). ### Final Answer: The work done by the man in both cases is in the ratio \( 1:1 \).
