A pendulum bob of mass 500 gm is suspended by a string of length 2 m. A horizontal force slowly displaces the bob from position A to position B as shown in the figure. Then work done by the applied force is …….if g=10 ms-2

a
7.5 J
b
10 J
c
5 J
d
2.5 J

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Work done by the applied force = change in potential energy =mgh=mgl1−cos60o=0.5×10×2×1−12J=5 J
