How to use Work Calculator

  1. Force: The applied effort in Newtons.
  2. Distance: Displacement in meters.
  3. Angle: (Optional) Angle between force and direction of motion.
  4. Calculate: Work done in Joules (J).

About Work Calculator

The Work Calculator determines the energy transferred when a force moves an object. In physics, Work = Force × Distance (assuming they differ in the same direction).

If you push a wall and it doesn't move, you've done zero work physics-wise!
