On a hot, summer day you put both of your hands on a 420-Kg yellow fire hydrant. This is attached properly to an underground water pipe. With all of your might, you push east on that fire hydrant for exactly 60 minutes. It did NOT move. How much work did you do?

A “all of your might”
B 1.0 J
C 0.0 J
D 25,200 J
E 7 J

Work= Force times distance. Since the firehydrant did not move, work is 0, so your answer is C.
