What is the formula for work?

Answer

Work is calculated using the formula W = F × d × cos(θ), where W represents work, F is the applied force, d is the displacement, and θ is the angle between the force and displacement vectors. When force and displacement are in the same direction, this simplifies to W = F × d. Work measures the energy transferred when a force moves an object through a distance.
