Question

two forces are acting on a body first force of 5 Newton from west to east and second force of 3 Newton from east to west to displace it to a distance of 5 M what is the work done by the force is and in which direction the displacement take place

Answer 1

the direction of displacement is west to east as the force acting west to east is of greater magnitude(5>3)
work done by 5N force=5*5=25J
work done by 3N force=3*(-5)= -15J
