Check the dimensional consistency of W = F s cosθ, where W is work, F is force, s is distance, and θ is an angle.

LHS: [W] = [M L² T^{-2] . RHS: [F s cosθ] = [M L T^{-2] [L] × dimensionless = [M L² T^{-2] . Consistent. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

In a rigid body, why does the point of application of force affect torque?

Torque depends on the perpendicular distance from the axis to the line of action of the force ( tau = r F sin θ ), so the point of application changes r, altering the torque.
