A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force. Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?

56 J

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Step 2: Calculate the work (w) done on the object

We can find the work done on the object using the following expression.

w = F × d × cosθ

where

θ is the angle between F and d

Since F and d occur in the same direction, θ = 0° and cosθ = 1. Then,

w = F × d × 1

w = F × d

w = 7 N × 8 m = 56 J
