    When a body moves in a circular path, no work is done by the force since:

    A)  force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

    B)  the force is always away from the centre

    C)  there is no displacement

    D)  there is no net force

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    When a body moves on a circular path then force and distance are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, work done by the force is                 \[W=F\,.\,\,d\cos \theta \]                 \[=F\,.\,d\,\cos \,\,{{90}^{o}}\]                 \[(\because \,\,\theta ={{90}^{o}})\]                 \[=0\]                                \[(\because \,\cos \,\,{{90}^{o}}=0)\]
