Why is no work being done on books on shelf physics?
Work = force x distance. With a distance of zero, the work will also be zero.
Work is done when in physics?
In physics, work is done when a force is applied over a certain distance.
How do we know if work is done?
In physics, work is done by a force acting on an object if the object moves in the direction of the force.
What is present when work is done?
In physics work is dome when a force acts on a body and the body moves in the direction of the force.
What is the definition of work done?
Physics definition of work: (force applied ) multiplied by (distance through which the force acts).

What is the work done by carrying force on the back pack?
WORK in terms of Physics is only done when there is motion of an Object. So even though you may tire while standing still wearing a Pack, NO WORK is being performed on the Pack itself (in terms of Physics). Once you start walking, then there is work being done MOVING the pack forward, as well as UP and DOWN! To find the total work done on the Pack, you would have to use Vector representation of the Forces and the Motion to solve the entire System's Work Performed.
Is work being done when someone is typing a letter?
Yes it is being done, if the person doing it is doing it as part of a paid job or because they run a business and the letter is needed for the business. If it is being typed for school it may also be considered work, but of a different kind. And from the view of physics, since energy is being expended by the person typing, and perhaps by the machinery being used, work is being done. However, if you are at work and typing a letter to your grandmother, that is not the kind of work you are being paid for and your employer would say work is not being done.

Does gravitational force do work on the particle on which it acts?
The physics definition of work is a force acting on an object to move it a distance. A book sitting on a desk has a grav. force applied, but, since it does not move, no work is done. A rock falling off a mountain would have work being done.
How do you know work is being done?
work is being done when you use energy
Is there such a proverb such as 'No work is done when something remains same'?
This statement can be applied to physics, so it could be considered a 'physics proverb'... Work equals force times distance, so no matter how much force is applied, if the object does not move, no work is done.
What is the definition of work done?
Physics definition of work: (force applied ) multiplied by (distance through which the force acts).
Is work done if you push a car that has run out of gas?
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.
Where is work done?
If you mean "work" in the way it is used in physics, the basic definition of work is force x distance. In other words, if you apply a force over a certain distance, work is done.
