A wall acted upon by a force of 20N does not move. The work done on the wall in this process is

Respuesta :

The work done on the wall is zero

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by the equation:

[tex]W=Fd cos \theta[/tex]

where :

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this problem, we have:

F = 20 N is the force applied on the wall

d = 0 is the displacement, since the wall does not move

Therefore, we immediately see that regardless of the angle, the work done is zero:

[tex]W=F(0)cos \theta = 0[/tex]

In fact, work is done only if the displacement is non-zero.
