1) When you push an object on a flat surface work is being done against the force of friction (and air resistance). Work is calculated by the formula:
Work = Force applied x distance moved in the direction of the force
2) When you push a spring to compress it, you are doing work against its stiffness
In this case, Work = Force applied x 0.5 x decrease in length of spring
3) When you push something vertically upwards, you are working against gravity
Here, Work = mass x earth's gravity x height raised
When pushing, the body is performing concentric muscle contractions, where the muscles shorten to generate force against an object. This work involves the muscles in the upper body, particularly the chest, shoulders, and triceps, as well as engaging the core muscles for stability and balance. The primary goal is to overcome resistance and move an object away from the body.
The same type as is done when pushing, shoving, rolling, lifting, wiggling etc. ... a force acting through a distance.
Pushing on a wall does not result in work being done in the physics sense, as work requires displacement of an object in the direction of the force. The wall does not move, so no work is done on it. However, your muscles are still expending energy to push on the wall.
Physically pushing against a wall can be considered as doing work in a physics context, as work is defined as the force applied over a distance. The force you exert on the wall does not result in any displacement of the wall, but work is still being done in the physics sense, as long as the force is being applied.
when force is applied and work is done In order to accomplish work on an object there must be a force exerted on the object and it must move in the direction of the force. for example if u climb a tree u are doing work and force is applied
To determine if Beatrice is doing work on the box, we need to know the distance over which she is pushing and the direction of the force she is applying. Work is done when a force is applied in the direction of motion over a distance. If Beatrice is pushing the box in the direction of motion over a distance, then work is being done on the box.

Yes. The work is being done by whoever is pushing rather then the engine, but work is being done. Any time a force is applied through a distance, work is being done.
it varies from each profession
No work is being done on the book when it falls from the shelf to the ground. Work is defined as the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a force acting on the object in the direction of its motion. In this case, gravity is the force acting on the book, causing it to fall, but there is no transfer of energy to another object.
In activity B, where you are pushing against a rock but not moving it, work is being done in its scientific meaning as the force you apply results in a displacement over time, even though the rock doesn't move. In activities A and C, no work is being done because there is either no displacement in the case of sitting still on a rock (A) or no force causing a displacement in the case of pushing a rock over a cliff (C).

No, it is not.
In order for work to be done there must be a Force F pushing over a distance D. Work=Force x Distance Work only is done in the direction of the Force.
work is being done when you use energy
If there is no vertical motion, then no work is done by any vertical forces.
