It is well known that a raindrop falls under the influence of the downward gravitational force and the opposing resistive force. The latter is known to be proportional to the speed of the drop but is otherwise undetermined. Consider a drop of mass g falling from a height of km. It hits the ground with a speed of m/s. Work done by the gravitational force and work done by the unknown resistive force respectively are:
1. | J and J | 2. | J and J |
3. | J and J | 4. | J and J |

A woman pushes a trunk on a railway platform which has a rough surface. She applies a force of N over a distance of m. Thereafter, she gets progressively tired and her applied force reduces linearly with distance to N. The total distance through which the trunk has been moved is m. The plot of force applied by the woman and the frictional force, which is N versus displacement is given below. Work done by the two forces over m are:
1. | J and J |
2. | J and J |
3. | J and J |
4. | J and J |
