A body moves a distance of along a straight line under the action of a force of . If the work done is , the angle which the force makes with the direction of motion of the body is:
The work done by a constant force is defined as the product of the component of the force in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement. It is given by the formula: Where:
Substituting the given values into the formula:
Since , the angle is .
