Question
When is the work done said to be negative$?$
✓
Answer
When displacement of the body is in direction opposite to direction of force. Example: when a person lifts a weight then the displacement of the body is in direction opposite to Gravitational Force and thus it can be said that the work done on the body by gravity is $NEGATIVE ($angle between Gravitational Force and Displacement is $180$ degree and cos $180 = -1).$
