is tere any work done on water as you dip your finger on its surface?

Question

the finger is perpendicular to the water. Will there be work if we will dip our finger on the surface of water?

Answer 1

Yes
1. Work done against the surface of the water
plus
2. Work done on displacing water.

Answer 2

Yes. Your putting a net force on the water molecules, thus pushing it outwards so that your hand goes into the water. If you do not apply a net force, the water would not move, and you could stand on liquid water.
