In physics, work done by a body is simply the amount of energy it needs to cover some displacement, and mathematically work done is defined as the dot product between force vector and displacement vector which is further written as W=F.S . For example, if a body is acted by some amount of force having magnitude F and body covers some displacement having magnitude S and the angle between force and displacement is  then, the amount of work done performed by the body will be W=FScos
