The Formula
Work is the product of the component of force in the direction of displacement and the magnitude of this displacement.
Work - Perform scientific calculations with precision and accuracy.
Work quantifies energy transfer by a force causing displacement: W = F d cosθ.
W = F d cosθ
A 15 N force moves an object 3 m at θ=0°. W = 15 × 3 = 45 J.
Negative work?
Occurs when force opposes displacement.
Variable force?
Integrate F·dx along the path.
