Which movement has the greatest net work done?
My answer is (D) but the answer key is (C). My reasoning is that the net work for (A), (B) and (C) are all zero since the object moves with constant speed so the resultant force is also zero. What is the mistake in my reasoning? Thanks- songoku

Net Torque Within a Mass and Pulley System
