Question

What is the work done on a body by the gravitational force towards the centre of the path acting when it moves along a circular path?
One Line Answer

Solution

When a body moves along a circular path, work done by the gravitational force towards the centre of the path is zero, because the displacement in this case is normal to the gravitational force.
