Question

If the applied force has a component in the direction of the displacement, the work done is said to be :

• A. Positive
• B. Negative
• C. Neutral
• D. Sometimes positive and sometimes negative

Answer 1

The correct option is A Positive

Work done by a force is positive if the applied force has a component in the direction of the displacement.
we know
$W=F\times S\times cos\theta$
$\theta =0^0;cos{0}^0=1$; So,work done will be positive.
