Question #2
Work done by a force is maximum when the angle between force and displacement is
A. 60°
B. 30°
C. 90°
D.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Work W = F·d = Fd cosθ. cos0° = 1 gives maximum work. At 90°, cos90° = 0, work zero. For given magnitudes, maximum when force parallel to displacement. This is basic definition.
