Work done in moving a particle from A to B in gravitational force (conservative force) depends only on its initial and final position and independent of path.

Q. If $W_{1}, W_{2}$ and $W_{3}$ represent the work done in moving a particle from A to B along three different paths 1, 2 and 3 respectively in the gravitational field of a point mass m as shown in the figure, find the correct relation between $W_{1}, W_{2}$ and $W_{3}$ .

$W_{1} > W_{2} > W_{3}$

$W_{1} = W_{2} = W_{3}$

$W_{1} < W_{2} < W_{3}$

$W_{2} > W_{2} > W_{3}$

Work done in moving a particle from A to B in gravitational force (conservative force) depends only on its initial and final position and independent of path.

Q. If W1​,W2​ and W3​ represent the work done in moving a particle from A to B along three different paths 1, 2 and 3 respectively in the gravitational field of a point mass m as shown in the figure, find the correct relation between W1​,W2​ and W3​ .

W1​>W2​>W3​

W1​=W2​=W3​

W1​<W2​<W3​

W2​>W2​>W3​

Q. If $W_{1}, W_{2}$ and $W_{3}$ represent the work done in moving a particle from A to B along three different paths 1, 2 and 3 respectively in the gravitational field of a point mass m as shown in the figure, find the correct relation between $W_{1}, W_{2}$ and $W_{3}$ .

$W_{1} > W_{2} > W_{3}$

$W_{1} = W_{2} = W_{3}$

$W_{1} < W_{2} < W_{3}$

$W_{2} > W_{2} > W_{3}$
