How is the work done by a force measured when

(i) force is in direction of displacement,

(ii) force is at an angle to the direction of displacement?

Solution :

(i) W = F × S

This expression gives the work done when force is in direction of displacement.

(ii) W = F S cos θ

 This expression gives the work done when force is at an angle to the direction of displacement.
