प्रश्न
Does the transfer of energy take place when you push a huge rock with all your might and fail to move it? Where is the energy you spend going?

उत्तर
- No, when we push a huge rock with all our strength but cannot move it, there is no transfer of energy.
- When we push the rock, our muscles tense and blood is displaced very rapidly to these muscles.
- These changes consume energy and we feel tired.
