Work, is the product of the displacement d and the constant
force F in the direction of d.
(a) W = F⋅ d = Fd (because, F is in the same direction to d,

The work done by Fi when the particle
moves along the path ∆ li is
approximately:

Positive & Negative Work
Work is positive if the force has a
component in the direction of
motion (displacement) (0 ≤ θ ≤
90o), cos θ is positive.
Work is negative if the force has a
component opposite to the
displacement
(90 ≤ θ ≤ 180o), cos θ is
negative.
Work is zero if the force is
perpendicular to the displacement,
θ = 90o.
cos 90 = 0

Total Work
• We compute the work done by several forces
acting on a body by either:
• (a) computing the work done by each force
separately and then, since work is a scalar
quantity, taking the algebraic sum of the work
done by the individual forces or
• (b) compute the vector sum (resultant) of the
forces and then using this resultant force
compute the work done.
