A boy pushes unto a table

B

A stands on a table

C

A man supports a heavy food above his head with his hands

D

Ask EduPadi AI...
Correct Option: A

Work is done when a force causes a displacement. Let's analyze the options:

  • A. A boy pushes unto a table: If the table does not move, no work is done because there is no displacement.
  • B. A stands on a table: There's no force causing displacement in this scenario; therefore, no work is done.
  • C. A man supports a heavy food above his head with his hands: While the man exerts a force to counter gravity, there's no displacement of the food (it remains stationary). Hence, no work is done.
  • D. A woman holds a pot of water: Similar to option C, the woman exerts a force, but the pot isn't moving. Therefore, no work is done.
