Question
Figure shows four situations in which a force is applied to a block. In all four cases, the force has the same magnitude, and the displacement of the block is to the right and of the same magnitude. Which of the following cases work done by the applied force on the block is zero?
- (ii)
- (iii)
- (i)
- (iv)

Work done by the applied force is zero in (i) because in case (i) both the force and displacement are mutually perpendicular.W=FdW=Fdcosθ=Fdcos90∘W=0

Q5
A spring lies along the x-axis attached to a wall at one end and a block at the other end. The block rests on a friction less surface at x = 0. A force of constant magnitude F is applied to the block that begins to compress the spring, until the block comes to a maximum displacement xmax.
During the displacement, which of the curves shown in the graph best represents the work done on the spring block system by the applied force?
