A gravitational field is present in a region and a mass is shifted from AA to BB through different paths as shown. If W1,W2W_1, W_2 and W3W_3 represent the work done by the gravitational force along the respective paths, then A gravitational field is present in a region and a mass is shifted from A to B through different paths as shown. If

Options

  1. AW1=W2=W3\mathrm{W}_1=\mathrm{W}_2=\mathrm{W}_3
  2. BW1>W2>W3\mathrm{W}_1>\mathrm{W}_2>\mathrm{W}_3
  3. CW1>W3>W2\mathrm{W}_1>\mathrm{W}_3>\mathrm{W}_2
  4. DW1<W2<W3\mathrm{W}_1 < \mathrm{W}_2 < \mathrm{W}_3

Correct answer

A. W1=W2=W3\mathrm{W}_1=\mathrm{W}_2=\mathrm{W}_3

Step-by-step solution

Since, gravitational force is a conservative force and hence the work done is independent of the paths covered between points AA and BB.
