AIIMS 2010 Physics Work Done by a Force MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

A block of mass m is pulled along a horizontal surface by applying a force at an angle θ with the horizontal. If the block travels with a uniform velocity and has a displacement d and the coefficient of friction is μ, then the work done by the applied force is

A

μmgd / (cos θ + μ sin θ)

B

μmgd cos θ / (cos θ + μ sin θ)

C

μmgd sin θ / (cos θ + μ sin θ)

D

μmgd cos θ / (cos θ - μ sin θ)

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Because the block moves with a uniform velocity, the resultant force is zero.
