OhMyCalc

Work Calculator

Calculate mechanical work using W = Fd cos(θ). Enter force, distance, and angle to find the work done.

How to Use the Work Calculator

  1. Enter the applied force in newtons.
  2. Enter the distance over which the force acts in meters.
  3. Enter the angle between the force and displacement direction (0° if aligned).

الصيغة

W = F × d × cos(θ), where W is work (J), F is force (N), d is distance (m), and θ is the angle between force and displacement.

الأسئلة الشائعة

What is mechanical work?
Work is the energy transferred when a force moves an object over a distance. It equals the force component along the direction of displacement times the distance.
When is work zero?
Work is zero when the force is perpendicular to displacement (θ = 90°), or when there is no displacement.
