Answer:

When the direction of the force is parallel to the displacement of the object

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done by a force when moving an object is given by:


W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object


\theta is the angle between the force's direction and the displacement

From the formula, we see that the work done is maximum when


cos \theta=1

which occurs when


\theta=0^(\circ)

so, when the force is parallel to the displacement.
