Question

A force of $5N$ is acting on an object. The object is displaced through $2m$ in the direction of force. If the force acts on the object throughout the displacement. Find the work done by the force.

Answer 1

Step 1: Given Data

Force (F) $=5N$

Displacement (s) $=2m$

Step 2: Formula used

$Workdone\left(W\right)=Force\left(F\right)xDisplacement\left(s\right)$

Step 3: Finding work done

$$\begin{gathered} W=Fxs \\ W=5Nx2m \\ W=10J \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the work done by the force is $10J$.
