Work by Torque

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 torque and the angle it moves through under that torque.

Formula

QuantityVariable["W", "Work"] == QuantityVariable["θ", "Angle"]*QuantityVariable["τ", "Torque"]
