How to Calculate Work Done

What is Work Done?

A work-energy calculator computes the work done by a force over a displacement using W = F×d×cos(θ), where θ is the angle between force and motion. Work measured in joules (J) represents energy transfer — lifting a 10 kg box by 1 m requires 98 J of work against gravity.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1W = F*d (direction of motion)
2. 2Unit: Joule = N*m
3. 3W = F*d*cos(theta) if angled
