Question

If W subscript 1 end subscript comma W subscript 2 end subscript and W subscript 3 end subscript represent the work done in moving a particle from A to B along three different paths 1, 2 and 3 respectively (as shown) in the gravitational field of a point mass m, find the correct relation between W subscript 1 end subscript comma W subscript 2 end subscript and W subscript 3 end subscript

  1. W subscript 1 end subscript greater than W subscript 2 end subscript greater than W subscript 3 end subscript    
  2. W subscript 1 end subscript equals W subscript 2 end subscript equals W subscript 3 end subscript    
  3. W subscript 1 end subscript less than W subscript 2 end subscript less than W subscript 3 end subscript    
  4. W subscript 2 end subscript greater than W subscript 1 end subscript greater than W subscript 3 end subscript    

The correct answer is: W subscript 1 end subscript equals W subscript 2 end subscript equals W subscript 3 end subscript


    Gravitational force is a conservative force and work done against it is a point function i.e. does not depend on the path
