Answer:

For constant traveled distance and applied forces, apply the for parallel to the direction of the movement.

Step-by-step explanation:

$W = F.d = |F||d|cos(\theta)\\$

There are 3 components in the amount of work produced when applying a force to an object.

1. The amount of force applied

2. The distance that the object is traveled

3. The angle between the force vector and the distance vector

To get the maximum amount of work for a constant force and distance, the force needs to be along the distance traveled
$=> \theta = 0$

If the angle and the distance are constant, the only way is to apply a larger force in magnitude
If the angle and the force are constant, increasing the distance traveled will result in higher amount of work produced.
