Question
What do you understand by work? Is work a scalar or a vector quantity?
✓
Answer
Work is said to be done when a force displaces a body through some distance, in its own direction, i.e.,
Work = Force × Displacement
W = F × d
Work is a scalar quantity.
Work = Force × Displacement
W = F × d
Work is a scalar quantity.
