At what angle Work is minimum?

Answer 1

Work is minimized when the angle between the force applied and the direction of motion is 90 degrees (or π/2 radians). At this angle, the force does not contribute to the displacement in the direction of the force, resulting in zero work done. In general, as the angle increases from 0 to 90 degrees, the work done decreases, reaching its minimum at 90 degrees.
