Answer 1

1. When the applied force cause displacement in its own direction, the work done is said to be positive work.
2. $Workdone\left(W\right)=Force\left(F\right)\times displacement\left(s\right)$.
3. For example, When a body moves on the horizontal surface, force and displacement act in the forward path. The work is done in this case known as positive work.
