In my textbook it's written Work done is always calculated on the displacement of the body parallel or anti-parallel to the direction of the force. And, according to the formula it is : or And work done by torque is given as : Now let's take a case when a cylinder with fixed center of mass and radius is rotated with a tangential force And it rotates radians. So, according to the first formula, the displacement is but since the the point of application of force has moved , it is right vertically downwards from the initial point of application. So, the angle with the point of application of force and the force vector becomes And . And so . But the second formula says otherwise, it says that work done is So according to second formula. So yeah, I need to know which is right.
What is work done by torque?
