Question

a man with box on his head is climbed up a ladder . the work done by the man on the box is
a)positive
b)negative
c)zero
d)undefined

Answer 1

The work done on the box by the man is zero as the force acting on the box is at an angle of 90,, and such a force means 0 or no work. If it was said that 'what is the work done by the man on climbing the stairs' then it would be positive as the man is gaining height thereby gaining potential energy. But in this case the work done is ZERO.

Answer 2

Third option is the correct answer
