प्रश्न
A force F acts on a body and displaces it by a distance S in a direction at an angle θ with the direction of force.
Write the expression for the work done by the force.
उत्तर
Work done = Force × displacement
However, when a force causes the body to move in a direction different from the force's direction.
Then work done W = Force × the component of body displacement in the direction of force.
W = F × S Cos θ
∴ W = F S Cos θ

Displacement
A force of 1000 N was applied to stop a car that was moving with a constant velocity. The car stopped after moving through 10 m. How much is the work done?
A cart with mass 20 kg went 50 m in a straight line on a plain and smooth road when a force of 2 N was applied to it. How much work was done by the force?
What should be the angle between the direction of force and the direction of displacement, for work to be negative?

- in the direction of force,
- at an angle of 60° with the force, and
- normal to the force. (g = 10 N kg-1)
