W = F ⋅ d
For a given amount of force, F, and a given distance, d, the work done on an object is given by the formula W = F ⋅ d . Note that this formula assumes that the force is applied in a direction parallel to the direction of motion of the object.
If the force ‘F’ is steady and the angle between the displacement ‘s’ and the force is θ, then the total work done is calculated by the formula,
W=F s cosθ
‘W’ is the work completed by force, ‘d’ is the displacement produced by force, and ‘θ’ is the angle between the resultant displacement and the applied force. Even though displacement and force are vector quantities, work is strictly a scalar quantity. It has no direction. Work transmits energy from one point to another or one type to another.
