Question

A woman carrying a basket of vegetables on her head is walking along a road in the plains. Is work being done on the basket?

Answer 1

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Because she is walking along a road and she is not lifting the basket anymore, so the direction of application of force is perpendicular to the direction of the displacement of the basket. And,

W = F.S.costheta

here, theta is 90 degree so the equation becomes 0. Hence no work done.
