Work by Force

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 equals the product of the force and the distance it moves under that force.

Formula

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

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

Forms

Examples

Get the resource:

In[1]:=
ResourceObject["Work by Force"]
Out[1]=

Get the formula:

In[2]:=
FormulaData[ResourceObject["Work by Force"]]
Out[2]=

Use some values:

In[3]:=
FormulaData[ ResourceObject[ "Work by Force"], {QuantityVariable["W","Work"] -> Quantity[1, "Joules"], QuantityVariable["d","Distance"] -> Quantity[1, "Meters"]}]
Out[3]=
