If the angle between displacement and direction of force is ___________ then work done is maximum.

Open in App

Solution

We know, work done, $W = F d \cos θ$
The value of $\cos θ = 1$ when $θ = 0^{\circ}$
Hence, $= F d \cos 0^{\circ}$
$W = F d$
3. So, if the angle between force and displacement is zero then the work done is maximum.
Hence, if the angle between displacement and direction of force is zero then work done is maximum.
