Question

A force F is applied to the see saw. F is applied a distance 2d from the pivot point, and the black box is a distance d from the pivot point (not to scale). Compare the work done by gravity and the work done by the force F when the see saw is displaced through the angle (i.e.: Is the work done by gravity greater than, equal to, or less than the work done by the force F).

A force F is applied to the see saw. F is applied a distance 2d from the pivot point, and the black box is a distance d from the pivot point (not to scale). Compare the work done by gravity and the work done by the force F when the see saw is displaced through the angle (i.e.: Is the work done by gravity greater than, equal to, or less than the work done by the force F).

Explanation / Answer

here work done by F is positive and workdone by gravity is vegative.

so work done by gravity < workdone by force
