Work Calculator

Find work done by a force over a distance.

Force (N)

Distance

Angle (degrees)

Calculated Output

Work (J) 500

Formula: W = F × d × cos(θ)

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Values used:

2. Force = 100 N

3. Distance = 5

4. Angle = 0 degrees

6. Work = Force x Distance = 100 x 5 = 500J

Did this calculator solve your problem today?

The math behind it

W = force × distance × cos(angle between them).

100 N over 5 m in line → 500 J.

Force perpendicular to motion?

No work is done — cos(90°) = 0.
