Answer»

The amount of work done to move an object in a closed VERTICAL circle on the surface of the earth is zero because the DISPLACEMENT of the object is zero.

  • Work done by a FORCE in displacing a body by a small distance dx is given by: dW=\int\limits F.dx
  • When the displacement of the body is zero the product of force and displacement BECOMES zero and work done by force also becomes zero.
  • As the object MOVES in a closed vertical circle the initial position of the object is the same as the final position. And the displacement of the particle is zero.
  • The force by the gravitational pull of the earth is mg and the displacement is 0 then the work done is given by:                        W=mg(0)\\W=0
