In which situation is maximum work considered to be done by a force? A.
The angle between the force and displacement is 180°.
B.
The angle between the force and displacement is 90°.
C.
The angle between the force and displacement is 60°.
D.
The angle between the force and displacement is 45°.
E.
The angle between the force and displacement is 0°.

A) When the angle between the Force (F) and Displacement (x) is 0°, because, Work done (W) is directly proportional to the Cosine of the Angle between the Force applied and the resultant displacement of the subject.

W = F•x cos ∅

If ∅ = 0°,

W = F•x ===> Maximum Work Done.

If ∅ = 45°,

W = F•x/√2

If ∅ = 90°,

W = 0

If ∅ = 180°,

W = –F•x ===> Minimum Work Done.
