Work by Force at an Angle

A force is said to do work if, when acting, there is a displacement of the point of application in the direction of the force. Work transfers energy from one place to another or from one form to another.

The work done on an object equals the product of the component of the force in the direction of motion and the distance it moves under that force.

Formula

QuantityVariable["W", "Work"] == Cos[QuantityVariable["θ", "Angle"]]*QuantityVariable["d", "Distance"]*QuantityVariable["F", "Force"]

symbol description physical quantity
W work "Work"
θ angle "Angle"
d distance "Distance"
F force "Force"
