Question

Difference between work and applying force

Answer 1

The difference is that work done is a measure of force. Force is the driving component of motion of a body. ... While work done is defined by the change in position of particle times the force applied on the object. W = F → × d → = F × d cos ⁡ θ where is the angle between force applied and the displacement.

Answer 2

We have the formula for finding the work done :
W=Fs cos theta
Thus, from this we can say that Work done is directly proportional to the force applied provided that the angle theta is 90o.
