Work=Force X Displacement
Unit of WORK-newton.meter or Joules
A box of 50 Newton of weight
is brought by a boy from A to B
and then brought back to A.
What is the work done by this
boy?

Answer
W = 0 joule
(There is no displacement of the
box) 7
A body moves through a
displacement of 4 m while a
force F of 12 Newton acts on it.
What is the work done by the
force on the body?
Answer
Work = force x displacement
W=Fxd
W = 12N x 4m
W = 48 joule 8
Sample problem:
1. A person pushes a shopping cart with a
force of 9.0 newtons in a straight line for 12
meters. How much work was done?
Given:
Force-9.0 newtons
Distance-12 meters

Formula: Work=Force x displacement


Solution: W=9.0N X 12m
W=108J
Sample problem:
2. How far can you push a sled if you exert a
force of 7.0 newtons in the same direction, and
the amount of work on it is 56 joules?
Given:
Force-7.0 newtons
Work-56 meters

Formula: Work=Force x displacement


Solution: 56J=7.0N X d
d=8m
Sample problem:
3. Jun does 10 Joules of work to pull the
rope over 1.5 meter. How much force did
he use?
Given:
Distance-1.5m
Work-10 Joules

Formula: Work=Force / Displacement


Solution: 10J=F / 1.5m
d=6.6N
Formula for Work, Force,
Distance
Work=Force x displacement

displacement=Work
