Three objects having the same mass begin at the same height and all move down the same vertical distance H. One object falls
straight down, one slides down a frictionless inclined plane, and one swings on the end of a string.

In which case does the object have the biggest total work done on it by all forces during its motion?
Expert Solution

Step 1: Given and Required
We have given three objects falling down from the equal height 'H'. But these objects fall along different paths. We need to tell by which path the total work done is biggest
