Write the formula for work done on a body when the body moves at an angle to the direction of force. Give the meaning of each symbol used.
The work done by a force acting obliquely is given by the formula : W = F cos θ ✕ s. What will happen to the work done if angle θ between the direction of force and motion of the body is increased gradually? Will it increase, decrease or remain constant.
