(N/A) The work done $(W)$ by a force is defined by the formula $W = F \cdot s \cdot \cos(\theta)$,where $F$ is the force,$s$ is the displacement,and $\theta$ is the angle between the force and displacement vectors.
Therefore,the work done depends on the following three factors:
$(i)$ The magnitude of the force $(F)$ applied to the object.
$(ii)$ The magnitude of the displacement $(s)$ produced in the object.
$(iii)$ The angle $(\theta)$ between the direction of the applied force and the direction of the displacement.
