Work Calculator

Your details

Pick the unknown. Every other field is an input you supply.
The magnitude of the applied force. Not needed when you are solving for force.
The straight-line displacement. Not needed when you are solving for distance.
0° = force pushes along the motion. 90° = force is perpendicular and does no work. Not needed when solving for the angle.

The work done is 200.00 joules.

  • Work is force times distance times the cosine of the angle between them: W = F·d·cos(θ).
  • Only the component of force along the motion does work, the cos(θ) term strips out the rest.
  • A joule is the work done by a 1 N force pushing an object 1 metre in its direction.

Next stepDivide work by the time taken to get power in watts (P = W / t), or turn on the power option above.
