Write an expression for the work done when a force is acting on an object in the direction of its displacement.
(N/A) When a force $F$ displaces a body through a distance $s$ in the direction of the applied force,the work done $W$ on the body is defined as the product of the force and the displacement.
Work done = Force $\times$ Displacement
$W = F \times s$
Work done = Force $\times$ Displacement
$W = F \times s$
