What should be the angle between force and displacement to get maximum work?

Ans : Work done by a force can be given as: 

W = FS Cos θ

Here F is force, S is displacement, and θ is the angle between the force and the displacement. 

We know that cosine has a maximum value at 0°, so maximum work will be when force and displacement are in the same direction.
