Most hiccups will stop on their own. Home remedies are generally sufficient to resolve hiccupping. For persistent hiccups (lasting more than three hours) treatment varies, and you may need to contact your doctor. A physician may prescribe medications for severe, chronic hiccups.
In physics, a force is said to do work if, when acting, there is a displacement of the point of application in the direction of the force. For example, when a ball is held above the ground and then dropped, the work done on the ball as it falls is equal to the weight of the ball (a force) multiplied by the distance to the ground (a displacement). Work transfers energy from one place to another or one form to another.
For other uses of Work in physics, see Work (physics) and Work (electrical) . In thermodynamics, work performed by a system is the energy transferred by the system to another that is accounted for by changes in the external generalized mechanical constraints on the system.As such, thermodynamic work is a generalization of the concept of mechanical work in physics.n the simplest case, for example, there are work of change of volume against a resisting pressure, and work without change of volume, known as isochoric work. An example of isochoric work is when an outside agency, in the surrounds of the system, drives a frictional action on the surface of the system.
