Friction does no work in this case because there is no slipping.That is, there is a force but no displacement of the contact point.
I agree with you. My problem is that the displacement defined in work
to the point of contact. For instance: If a box is pushed across thefloor
is the work done only to the part of the box that is in contact with
the hand pushing it, or is the work done on the entire box?
