Work (W) Calculator
Compute the work done by a force: W = F·d·cos(θ).
Input Data
F
D
Angle
Results
Work done by the force.
50
W = F·d·cos(θ) = 10·5·cos(0°) = 50 J。
At a glance:Work W = F·d·cos(θ), where F is the force, d the displacement, and θ the angle between them. At θ=90° no work is done. Complements the kinetic-energy, potential-energy and force calculators.
Formula
W = F d cos(θ).
How to Use
- Enter force F, displacement d and angle θ.
- The tool gives the work W.
Case Studies
F=10, d=5, θ=0 → 50 J
W=10·5·1=50 J.
θ=90° → 0 J
cos90°=0 → no work done.
FAQ
What if θ=90°?
No work is done (W=0).
Relation to energy?
Work is the transfer of energy.
Where is it used?
Machines, lifting, engines.
Precision?
Displayed to 4 digits.
