Question 1. A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m in the direction of the force. Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case ?
 Answer. Work done (W) on an object is equal to the product of magnitude of the force (F) and the distance moved by the body (s) in the direction of the applied force
Work done (W) = Force(F) × Displacement (s)
∴ W = 7 N × 8 m = 56 J
