A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (see the given figure). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?

When do we say that work is done?
In each of the following a force, F is acting on an object of mass, m. The direction of displacement is from west to east, as shown by the longer arrow. Observe the diagrams carefully and state whether the work done by the force is negative, positive or zero.
