Question

The direction of applied force has to be .............. to the distance in order to say work is done​

Answer 1

Answer:

Parallel

Explanation:

The work done is defined as the force applied on an object and the displacement in the position of the object in the direction of force.

W = F s cos A

where, F is the force, s is the displacement and A is the angle between force and displacement.

When the angle between the force and the displacement is 90 degree, the work done is zero.

To get the maximum work the angle between the force and the displacement is 0 degree.

So, to get the work done by the force the angle between the force and displacement is 0 degree that means the force and displacement is parallel to each other.
