Q.

In a children’s park, there is a slide which has a total length of 10 m and a height of 8 m. A vertical ladder is provided to reach the top. A boy weighing 200 N  climbs up the ladder to the top of the slide and slides down to the ground. The average friction offered by the slide is three tenth of his weight. Then:
1) The work done by ladder on the boy as he goes up is zero
 2) The work done by ladder on boy as he goes up is – 1600 J
3) The work done by slide on boy as he comes down is – 600  J
4) The work done by slide on boy as he comes down is 1600 J

Detailed Solution

Frictional force  =310×200=60N
Work done by ladder on body is zero  because while ladder applies force on boy, his point of application does not move. Work done by slide   work done by friction 
   =60×10=600J
