Calculate the work needed for a bird of mass 120 g to fly to a height of 50 m from the surface of the Earth.
Solution : Calculate the work needed for a bird of mass.
Formula, W = mgh
Since, m = 120 g = 0.12 kg ,g = 9.81 m/s ,h = 50 m
So, W = 0, 12 × 9 · 81 × 50 = 58.86 kg · m^2 · s−1
Then, 1 kg · m2 · s^{−1 }= 1 kJ.
and, W = 58, 86 kJ
Therefore the work needed for a bird of mass is 58, 86 kJ
