Solution
The two conditions are:
(i) Application of-force on the body.
(ii) Displacement of the body in the direction of the force.

Give an example when work done by the force of gravity acting on a body is zero even though the body gets displaced from its initial position.
A body, when acted upon by a force of 10 kgf, gets displaced by 0.5 m. Calculate the work done by the force, when the displacement is (i) in the direction of force, (ii) at an angle of 60° with the force, and (iii) normal to the force. (g = 10 N kg-1)
