Question
A body is moved along a closed loop. Is the work done in moving the body necessarily zero? If not, state the condition under which work done over a closed path is always zero.
✓

Answer

Work done by a body moving along closed loop can be zero if only conservative force acting on the body during motion. Work done by a body moving along a loop is not zero if any non-conservative force, i.e., frictional, electrostatic, magnetic force are acting on body.

Consider a variation of the previous problem (figure). Suppose the circular loop lies in a vertical plane. The rod has a mass m. The rod and the loop have negligible resistances but the wire connecting O and C has a resistance R. The rod is made to rotate with a uniform angular velocity $\omega$ in the clockwise direction by applying a force at the midpoint of OA in a direction perpendicular to it. Find the magnitude of this force when the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical.

Consider Galileo's method of measuring the speed of light using two lanterns. To get an accuracy of about 10%, the time taken by the experimenter in closing or opening the shutter should be about one tenth of the time taken by the light in going from one experimenter to the other. Assume that it takes $\frac{1}{100}$ second for an experimenter to close or open the shutter. How far should the two experimenters be to get a 10% accuracy? What are the difficulties in having this separation?
