This weekend, UH played LaTech at aloha stadium. Luckily, my cousin's family had an extra ticket so I actually got to do something this weekend besides clean my stupid bathroom... anyway.
I'm glad to say, I didn't have to do any work like that at the game. But sadly, the work that I DIDN'T do at the game turned out to be really tiring too.
As you can see from this very awkward and embarrassing video (lucky you, I decided to put it up), the force I used to carry my cousin was directed upwards while my displacement was horizontal. Therefore, theta was 90 degrees making cos(theta) = 0. Then, since work = F x d cos(theta), I did absolutely no work.
I think that's really sad. My cousin is 10 now and he's getting really heavy (well, 68 lbs maybe, but what can I say; He's a picky eater.) I feel like I should have gotten some recognition from the laws of physics but no. Carrying a 10 yr old kid across a semi-spectator-filled parking lot means nothing! Well, at least my uncle (who was filming) thought it was funny.
