    A man pushes against a wall but fails to move it. He does

    A)  negative work

    B)  positive but not maximum work

    C)  maximum positive work

    D)  no work at all

    E)  maximum negative work

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Work done \[(W)=\overrightarrow{F}\cdot \overrightarrow{s}\] \[=Fs\cos \theta \] When a man pushes against a wall but fails to move it, then displacement of wall \[(\overrightarrow{s})=0\] \[\therefore \] Work done \[(W)=F\times 0\times \cos \theta \]      \[=0\] Therefore, man does no work at all.
