Question

If an object remains stationary even when force is applied then:

• A. Work is said to be done
• B. Work is not done
• C. Work may have been done
• D. Work cannot act on that body

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Work is not done

$\text{Work}=\text{Force}\times \text{Displacement}$

Work is said to be done only when the body is displaced from its original position by an applied force on it. If the body does not displace then no work is being done even if the force is acting on the body.
