(d) When a wire is twisted, its shape is changed, in this manner,
work is done against internal forces of cohesion between the molecules of
wire.
(e) Here, no work is done because the force, which the girl

motion is in the horizontal direction. The angle between the force and the
displacement is 90°. Therefore, no work is done.
