A block of mass \(m\) is being lowered by means of a string attached to it. The system moves down with a constant velocity. Then:
                                          

1. the work done by gravity on the block is positive.
2. the work done by force, \(F \) (the force of the string) on the block is negative.
3. the work done by gravity is equal in magnitude to that done by the string.
4. All of the above are true.

A rigid body of mass \(m\) is moving in a circle of radius \(r\) with constant speed \(v.\) The force on the body is \(\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\) and is always directed towards the centre. The work done by this force in moving the body over half the circumference of the circle will be:
1. \(\dfrac{mv^{2}}{rπ}\) 
2. \(mr^{2} \pi\)
3. zero
4. \(2 mv^{2} \pi\)
