A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement it, say 8m, in the direction of the force. Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?

A rain drop of radius 2 mm falls from a height of 500 m above the ground. It falls with decreasing acceleration (due to viscous resistance of the air) until at half its original height, it attains its maximum (terminal) speed, and moves with uniform speed thereafter. What is the work done by the gravitational force on the drop in the first and second half of its journey? What is the work done by the resistive force in the entire journey if its speed on reaching the ground is 10 m s-^1 ?
