An object is displaced by 10 meters in the direction of applied force. If the applied force is 55N, what is the work done by the force?

Answer»

Given :

➨ Displacement = 10m

➨ Magnitude of force = 55N

To Find :

➳ Work done by applied force.

Concept :

⇒ Work done by force is DEFINED as the dot product of magnitude of applied force and displacement.

⇒ It is a scalar quantity having only magnitude.

⇒ SI unit : JOULE (J)

MATHEMATICALLY, W = F▪d = FD cosΦ

(Φ denotes angle between applied force and displacement)

Calculation :

➠ W = Fd cosΦ

➠ W = (55)(10) cos 0°

➠ W = 550 × 1

W = 550J
