This page contains a calculator for working out work done (W, J), as well as calculators with the equation rearranged to make force (F, N) and displacement (s, m) the subject. The formulas are shown together with other useful information and examples to try.
Do you want to calculate work (physics) with very little effort? With Omni's work calculator we'll do the (computational) work for you 😉
The calculation of work is vital for designing efficient machines and for understanding energy conservation and conversion processes. Work, W (J) in joules is calculated by the product of force, F (N) in Newtons and distance, D (m) in metres.
Review the units of work, energy, force, and distance. Use the equations for mechanical energy and work to show what is work and what is not. Make it clear why holding something off the ground or carrying something over a level surface is not work in the scientific sense.
Objectives. After studying this chapter you should. be able to calculate work done by a force; be able to calculate kinetic energy; be able to calculate power; be able to use these quantities in solving problems; ems involving elastic strings and springs.
The SI unit of force is the Newton, (kg\(\cdot\)m/s\(^2\)) and the SI unit of distance is a meter (m). The fundamental unit of work is one Newton-meter, or a joule (J). That is, applying a force of one Newton for one meter performs one joule of work.
