Solution

a) for the closed path over which the body is movingthe workdone is always zero whatever are the other forces acting on the body. This so because displacement on a closed path is zero.b) Power is a scalar quantity , so it has no direction. Power = workdonetime .workdone and time both are scalar quantity.
