Question

What is the work done if the force is not acting on an object all through the displacement​

A force does not have to, and rarely does, act on an object parallel to the direction of motion. In the past, we derived that W = F d; such that the work done on an object is the force acting on the object multiplied by the displacement. But this is not the whole story.
