Problem

A student pulls a box across a horizontal floor using a rope. In which situation is the work done by the pulling force on the box equal to zero? a) The box is dragged 5 m5\,\text{m} while the rope makes a 60∘60^{\circ} angle with the direction of motion. b) The box is dragged 5 m5\,\text{m} while the rope makes a 90∘90^{\circ} angle with the direction of motion. c) The box is dragged 5 m5\,\text{m} using a horizontal rope while the box moves at constant speed. d) The box is dragged 5 m5\,\text{m} while the rope points directly opposite the direction of motion (180∘180^{\circ}).
