Question

A man tries to push a heavy stone lying on the road but he does not succeed in moving it, it shows no force was applied on the stone. True or False? Justify​

Answer 1

Its true..As there is no displacement therefore the force applied will become zero

Answer 2

Answer:

The Statement is false as force was applied on stone.

Explanation:

• A force is defined as the pushing or pulling of an item. Push and pull are caused by the interaction of two things.
• Force may also be expressed using terms like stretch and crush.
• Force is an external agent that may change the condition of rest or motion of a certain body.
• It has a magnitude as well as a direction.
• The direction of the force is the place where force is applied, and the application of force is the location where force is applied.

• As friction was opposing the force by the man, the object was not able to move.
• But that doest mean that there was no force which was being applied on the stone.

Hence we can conclude that force was being applied on the stone and the statement is false.
