Answer:
Ahmed did more work in lifting the weight than Omar.
Explanation:
Work done can be determined as the product of a force and the distance moved in the direction of the force.
Work done = F x s
In the given question, since the weight is lifted through a height, then the work done equals potential energy.
i.e Work done = Potential energy
= mgh
But,
Force = weight = mg
So that,
Work done = Fh
where F is the weight and h is the height.
i. Work done by Omar = Fh
= 200 x 2.0
= 400
Work done by Omar is 400 Nm.
ii. Work done by Ahmed = Fh
= 200 x 2.1
= 420
Work done by Ahmed is 420 Nm.
Thus, Ahmed did more work in lifting the weight than Omar.
