A coolie A takes 1 minute to lift a load to the roof of a bus whereas coolie B take 2 minutes to lift the same load to the roof of the same bus. The work done by B is:
- equal to work done by A
- greater than work done by A
- less than work done by A
- none of the above.

Answer
equal to work done by A
Reason ā From formula:
Given that the distance lifted and the force applied are the same for both coolies, as they are lifting the same load to the same height (the roof of the bus) hence, the work done by both coolies is the same.
The time taken to do the work doesn't affect the amount of work done.
