Let the drop fall through a height ∂x in time ∂t
m = ∂M∂t
∂M = m∂t
or,M = ∫m∂t =mt.............(1)
∂x∂t= ∂gt2/2∂t=gt
∂x = gt ∂t...........(2)
∂F = g∂M = mg ∂t..............(3)
We know,
W = F*x, since F and x changes with time we have to integrate twice
∂2W = ∂F*∂x = mg ∂t *gt ∂t = mg2t ∂t2
Therefore W = ∫∫mg2t ∂t2
Integrating it once we get,
W = ∫mg2t22 ∂t = mg2t36
In the integrals the limits are from 0 to t.
From (1) we get that,
W = M3g26m2 which is the desired result.
