Question
Calculate the work done against the gravity.
✓
Answer
Suppose a body of mass $m$ is lifted vertically upwards against the gravity ( g ) through a distance h . Here, the force ( F ) required to lift the body = weight of the body, mg (where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity). Now, Work done (W) in lifting a body $=$ Force $\times$ displacement $=$ Weight of body $\times$ Vertical distance $ W=mg \times h=mgh .$ Therefore, Work done against the gravity = mgh
