To solve the problem of determining the angle \( \theta \) that maximizes the work done when a force acts on a body displacing it by a distance \( S \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for work done The work done \( W \) by a force \( F \) when it displaces an object by a distance \( S \) at an angle \( \theta \) is given by the formula: \[ W = F \cdot S \cdot \cos(\theta) \] ...
