प्रश्न
State the condition when the work done by a force is positive. Explain with the help of examples.
उत्तर
If the displacement of the body is in the direction of force, then work done is positive.
Hence, W= F × S
For example: A coolie does work on the load when he raises it up against the force of gravity. The force exerted by coolie (=mg) and displacement, both are in upward direction.
