  3. Scientifically, climbing a staircase is considered work because it involves exerting force to move against gravity, resulting in energy expenditure. In everyday life, it might not be seen as work because it’s a common activity not typically associated with job-related tasks or productivity.

  5. The everyday definition of work refers to any physical or mental effort exerted, while the scientific definition specifically requires a force causing displacement in the direction of the force applied. Only then is work scientifically considered to be done.
