Solution

  1. When a body moves through a certain distance under the effect of a force applied to it, work is said to be done. It is given as, W=FS, where F is force and S is displacement.
  2. Work done depends upon the magnitude of Force (F)
  3. Work done depends upon the displacement of the body (S)

Therefore, work done by a force depends upon the magnitude of force and displacement.
