A patch of mud has stuck to the surface of a bicycle tire as shown. The stickiness of
the mud is the centripetal or tension force that keeps the mud on the tire as it spins.
Has work been done on the mud as the tire makes one revolution, if the mud stays

Answer:

Yes, work has been done on the mud.

Explanation:

Work is done on a body, when a force is applied on the body to move it through a certain distance. In the case of the mud, the tire exerts a centripetal force on the mud. The centripetal force moves the mud along a path that follows the circle formed by the tire in one revolution of the tire. The total distance traveled is the circumference of the circle formed. The work done on the mud is therefore the product of the centripetal force on the mud from the tire, and the circumference of the circle formed by the tire, usually expressed in radian.
