In the definition of work given in this section, what is the work done if F is orthogonal toAB→?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There will be no work done ifFis orthogonal toAB→.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

We have to find what will be the work done ifFis orthogonal toAB→.

02

Step 2. Finding the work done

As we know the work done by a constant force Fin moving an object from a point, A to a point B is defined as W=F·AB→.

Now, let F constant force is moving an object from point Ato point B,and the angle between the force vector and displacement vector is θ.

We know the work done is localid="1646819766257" W=F·AB→......(a)

As we know if uand vare two nonzero vectors, the angle θ,0≤θ≤π, between uand vis determined by the formula

cosθ=u·vuv

Thus,cosθ=F·AB→FAB→

03

Step 3. F is orthogonal to AB→

So, θ=90∘

cos90∘=F·AB→FAB→0=F·AB→........(b)

From (a) and (b) we get,

W=0

Therefore there will be no work done if F is orthogonal toAB→.
