Homework Statement


A stone has mass 2.5 kg is placed in a liquid. It falls with constant speed 2 ms-1 and travels 80 cm. Find the work done


Homework Equations


W = delta Ek


The Attempt at a Solution


The work done = 0 because there is no change in kinetic energy. Am I right?

Thanks

Oh my god..I'm so sorry I've posted oin the wrong section. Please move this thread to the appropriate section. I'm really sorry

Thanks
 
The stone is moving in liquid with terminal velocity. So the net force acting on it zero. So the work done on the stone is zero.
 
Thanks a lot rl.bhat ! :smile:

And I'm sorry for posting in wrong section.
