Question : 23
Total: 76
What should be the angle between the direction of force and the direction of displacement, for work to be negative?
Solution:  
The angle between the direction of force and the direction of displacement, for work to be negative is 180∘.
‌∵‌‌W=Fs‌cos‌θ.
‌‌ Here ‌θ=180∘
‌∴W=Fs‌cos‌180∘
‌‌‌=−Fs‌‌(∵cos‌180∘=−1)
∴ Work done is negative.
