Work by Gravity

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.

Work done on an object by gravity equals the product of the object's mass, gravitational acceleration and the distance it falls.

Formula

QuantityVariable["W", "Work"] == Quantity[1, "StandardAccelerationOfGravity"]*QuantityVariable["h", "Height"]*QuantityVariable["m", "Mass"]

symbol description physical quantity
W work "Work"
h height "Height"
m mass "Mass"

Use some values:

In[3]:=
FormulaData[ ResourceObject[ "Work by Gravity"], {QuantityVariable["W","Work"] -> Quantity[1, "Joules"], QuantityVariable["h","Height"] -> Quantity[1, "Meters"]}]
Out[3]=
