How much work is done by a coolie walking on a horizontal platform with a load on his head?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

W=0 as his displacement is along the horizontal direction and in order to balance the load on his head, he applies a force on it in the upward direction equal to its weight. Thus angle between force and displacement is zero.
