Solution

The work done by the string can be calculated using the formula:

Work = Force x Distance

In this case, the force exerted by the string is equal to the weight of the body, which is given by the formula:

Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Since the body is lowered at a constant acceleration of (g/4), the acceleration due to gravity is divided by 4. Therefore, the force exerted by the string is:

Force = mass x (g/4)

Next, we need to calculate the distance through which the body is lowered. The vertical distance h is given in the problem.

Finally, we can substitute the values into the work formula:

Work = (mass x (g/4)) x h

Simplifying this expression, we get:

Work = (Mgh)/4

Therefore, the work done by the string is (Mgh)/4.
