Work and Energy
Work
When force is exerted on an object and the object is displaced, work is said to be done.
Work = Force x Displacement
Or, W = F x s
If force, F = 0. Therefore, work done, W = 0 x s = 0.
If displacement, s = 0. Therefore, Work done, W = F x 0 = 0
Conditions for Work Done:
- Force should act on the object.
- Object must be displaced.
In the absence of any one of the above two conditions, work done will be equal to zero, that is work is not considered as done.

The story’s structure, which moves from the present to the past to what is revealed to be the imagined present, reflects this fluidity as well as the tension that exists among competing notions of time.
