    The document provides statements to determine whether an activity describes "doing work" or "not doing work". It defines work as when a force changes the motion of an object. Picking up books and shaking a rattle are identified as work because the force of hands and arm respectively change the motion of books and rattle by moving them up/down and back/forth. Pushing against a wall is identified as not work since no movement occurs despite applying force to the wall.
