How is work done by a force measured when the force: 1. is in the direction of displacement? 2. is in an angle to the direction of displacement? |
Answer» 1. When force is in the direction of displacement θ= 0°, then cos0 = 1. Hence, the work done by a force measured in the direction of displacement is W = F x S The work done is maximum and positive. 2. When the displacement is in the direction making an angle . with the direction of force, Work done = Component of force in the direction of displacement x displacement W.F = cosθ x s . |
