# Work Formula

Work is said to be done when a body undergoes displacement. It is denoted by W.

Work Formula is given by
Where
F = force applied and
d = displacement.
Work formula is used to calculate work done, force or displacement in any problems. It is given in Nm.

## Work Problems

Below are problems on work which helps ou to understand the concept better.

### Solved Examples

Question 1: Calculate the work done if 10 N of force acts on the body showing the displacement of 2m?
Solution:

Given: Force F = 10 N,
Displacement d = 2m,
Work done W = F $\times$ d
= 10 N $\times$ 2m
= 20 Nm.

Question 2: Calculate work done for 2 newton force and 3 metre displacement and angle between force and displacement is 45 degree?
Solution:

Given: Force F = 2N,
Displacement d = 3m,
$\theta$ = 45o
Work done W = Fd cos $\theta$

= 2N $\times$ 3m cos 45o

= 3.51 Nm.
