Does the transfer of energy take place

Question.
Does the transfer of energy take place when you push a huge rock with all your might and fail to move it ? Where is the energy you spend going ?

Solution:
Energy transfer does not take place as no displacement takes place in the direction of applied force. The energy spent is used to deform the surface of rock which cannot be seen by naked eyes. That is, it is stored in the form of elastic potential energy of the rock.
