Predict the sign of the work done in the following cases:-(a) work done by a man in lifting a bucket out of a well by means of a rope tied to the bucket. (b) work done by gravitational force in the above case (a).(c) work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane. (d) work done by the resistive force of air on a vibrating pendulum in bringing it to rest.

(a) Since tension in the rope is in the same direction as displacement, work done is positive.
(b) Work done is negative since gravitational force acts downwards, while displacement is upwards.
(c) Since friction opposes motion down the plane, it is directed opposite to displacement. Therefore work is negative.
(d) Work done by resistive force of air is negative because this force opposes motion.

During calculation of acceleration due to gravity above the surface of earth if we assume that there is an external force opposite to that of Earth's gravity then the cos angle will be 180 between the two forces which is negative(-1), if we put the value in the equation of dw = F.dx then the final value of potential energy is positive which is not possible.how and why??

A small spherical object having density 2P is placed inside the liquid of density P and connected to an ideal string of length l whose other end is kept fixed so that the object can move in a vertical cirlcle, minimum speed which must be given at the bottom to just complete the vertical circle.
