Gravitational force is a conservative force- Work done in moving object under that force only depends upon initial and final positions and not on the path along which it travels- Hence W1-W2-W3

lf 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 (as shown) in the gravitational field of a point mass m, find the correct relation between W1, W2 and W3. W1>W2>W3W1=W2=W3W2>W1>W3W1<W2<W3

Gravitational force is a conservative force. Work done in moving object under that force only depends upon initial and final positions and not on the path along which it travels. Hence W1=W2=W3

Gravitational force is a conservative force. Work done in moving object under that force only depends upon initial and final positions and not on the path along which it travels. Hence $W_{1} = W_{2} = W_{3}$
