When a object's displacement is imaginary then, that object's work is virtual work. But, how a object's displacement can be imaginary? Is that only theoretical (just to apply formulas)?

- What I understood from the [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTPxg72jbYE) that is, when we move a object in a much smaller amount of displacement than, that's called virtual displacement or imaginary displacement. For moving that, we have applied some forces hence, that force is called virtual work. Is that correct?
