Question

does a coolie carrying load on his head do any work while standing or while moving? If not, why?

Answer 1

work = force * distance

will there be a distance if he stays in one place standing or when he's moving?

Answer 2

No, while coolie is standing carrying a load on his head displacement zero.
He does no work against the force of gravity, while moving on the ground since displacement is normal to the force of gravity
