O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/12/O/N/22

Explanation
Work by force equals force times displacement parallel to it
Steps:
- Force F acts parallel to the slope.
- Block displaces distance l along the slope, in F's direction.
- Work by F uses displacement component parallel to F, which is l.
- Thus, work = F × l.
Why B is correct:
- Definition of work: W = F d cosθ; θ=0° (parallel), d=l, so W = F l.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: F h uses vertical height h, but displacement parallel to F is l, not h.
- C: W d involves block's weight W and undefined d, ignoring applied force F.
- D: W l multiplies weight by distance, but work by F depends on F, not W.
Final answer: B
