Common Work Questions

What is the formula for work?

The formula for work is W = F × d, where W is work, F is force, and d is distance.

What units are used for work?

Work is typically measured in Joules (J) or Newton-meters (Nm).

How is work used in real life?

Work is used to calculate energy transfer, measure mechanical systems, and analyze physical performance.


Example Work Calculation

Example Problem:

A person pushes a box with a force of 50 N for a distance of 10 meters. How much work is done?


Step 1:  Identify the given values

From the problem, we are given:

•   Force:  F = 50 N
•   distance:  d = 10 m


Step 2:  Write out the formula

The formula for work is:  W = F x d
•   W = Work
•   F = Force
•   d = Distance


Step 3:  Substitute the given values

W = 50 x 10


Step 4:  Simplify and solve

In this example no further simplification is needed
W = 50 x 10 = 500


Final Answer: 

The work done is 500 Joules (J).
