is F=20N ???

It is a wonderful question...

It is like the body is accelerating due to a force

then retarding due to gravity..

so you have to take these two into consideration....

The displacement of the first part is 0.2

Then u find the velocity.. just at release..

Then again the displacement.

i think this should do...

There is a simpler mehotd u can think .. exactly the reverse...
find the initial velocity needed to make it move 2 m under gravity

if s=0.2 find the acceleration to take the body from rest to that velocity ....

and then F=m.a

cant we think it this way...

work done by hand =F.s = 0.2F
work done by gravity = mgh =0.2X10X2

both equal.. so, F=20N

correct me,,, if wrong...

i think u made a slight mistake skygirl

work done by gravity is not equal to mg*2
but equal to mg*(2+0.2)

as you are equating both w.r.t their initial and final states

work done by gravity in the whole process is equal to mg*(2+0.2) = 4.4

hence force =22N

dont forget that mg is also acting when the hand is applying the force

answer is 22N u r right rohan

Point taken dude :)

I was presuming that it was already accounted. But yeah my wrong :)

But yeah i really liked the approach

*To be true.. it din strike me until i read sky's soln.

why the work done by hand and gravity is equal

OH SHIT!
YES RIGHT...
THE HAND ALSO GOES UP.... SO DAT WILL BE ADDED..
BAD MISTAKE :(
