Step-by-step explanation:

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a specific or particular direction.

It is also the difference in the amount of energy expended in using an effort.

Work done is given as;

Work done = F x d CosФ

F is the force applied

d is the displacement

Ф is the angle

The unit of work done is in Joules.
