What is represented by the product of force with displacement in the direction of force?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Work.

The product of force and displacement in the direction of the force represents work. Mathematically, work W is given by W=F⋅d⋅cos⁡(θ) , where F is the applied force, d is the displacement, and θ is the angle between the force and the displacement direction. When force and displacement are in the same direction (θ=0), cos⁡(0)=1,  simplifying the equation to W=F⋅d.
