Question

shani poses as the statue of liberty for an art class. she holds a torch above her head with her right hand and a book against her side with her left hand. she holds the pose for ten minutes. at the end of the session, she mentions to her friend that it was a lot of work to pose and that her arms are really tired. which describes the work shani did while she posed?

Answer 1

In this situation, Shani did not had any work done. It is because she did not moved from one place to another by maintaining her stationary position. Work done is equal to the force exerted multiplied to the distance traveled.

Answer 2

She did no work while she posed because she did not move the torch or the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the physics normal laws, work is given by the formula:

W=F*D

Where W represents work, F-Force and D-Distance.

For physics in order for there to be work there has to be a force applied in a certain distance, since she didn´t move the torch nor the book, she didn´t perform any job.
