Question:

In the formula "Work = Fs cosθ", If angle between force and displacement (θ) is less than 90°, the net work done by the force will be :

Options:

Infinity

Positive

Negative

Zero

Correct Answer:

Positive

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - Positive

If the angle θ is acute (θ < 90º), the component of force is parallel to the displacement and the work done by force is positive

In the formula "Work = Fs cosθ,

If the angle θ between the force and displacement is less than 90º, then the cosine of is positive, indicating that the force is doing work on the object and transferring energy to it.
