they are directly related because work is the amount of force x the distance so without any of this two u cnt get work

The correct answer of this question is: Work = Force . Distance

Step-by-step explanation:

The work is said to be done by a body if the force applied on the body has a component along the direction of displacement.

Let us consider a body of mass m.

The body is acted upon by a constant force F . Due to this force, the body undergoes a displacement of S .

Let
\theta is the angle between force and displacement.

Hence, the component of force along the direction of displacement is
Fcos\theta..

The work done by that body is calculated as -

Work done W =
Fcos\theta * S

=
FScos\theta

=
\vec F.\vec S [ ∵
\vec A.\vec B=\ ABcos\theta\ ]

Let
\theta=\ 0^(0).

Hence, work done W = FScos0

= FS [ cos0 = 1]

Hence, the relation between work, force and distance can be written as -

Work = force . distance
