उत्तर
Work done is more when the boy pushes a bicycle because the force applied by him on the bicycle results in the motion of the bicycle. On the other hand, the boy trying to push a heavy truck parked on the roadside results in zero work, as there is no motion in the truck.

A truck driver can load oil drums into the back of the truck by pushing them up a sloping plank, or by lifting them directly. Each drum has a mass of 80 kg, the plank is 3 m long, and the back of the truck is 0.8 m above the ground.
(i) How much force would be needed to lift a drum into the truck directly/without using the plank? (Take g = 10 m/s2)
(ii) How much energy would be required in lifting the drum into the truck without the plank?
(iii) If the force needed to push the drum up the plank is 300 N, why is this less than the answer to part (i)?
