explain clearly when work done is zero ? please don't give the example as circular motion, give examples in daily life.

Explanation:
Yes, if force is acting on a body work done can be zero. When an object is at rest and no external force except gravity is acting on it in this case the work that would be zero as the force acting on it is perpendicular.
For example,
When an object is at rest and no external force except gravity is acting on it in this case the work that would be zero as the force acting on it is perpendicular. Therefore the displacement is zero and if displacement is zero work done would be zero.
We know that,
The work done
W=fs
Suppose that displacement is zero then,
W=f×0
W=0
Zero work is done when the displacement of a body is zero or perpendicular (θ=900,cosθ=0) to the direction of force applied, then work done is zero. For example, if a person tries to push a wall, he is applying force yet the wall does not move, so the displacement of the wall is zero, and hence work done is zero.
