Net Force to Work Calculator:
Enter the values of net force, NF(N) and displacement, D(m) to determine the amount of work done, W(J).
Net Force to Work Formula:
The formula for calculating work involves the product of the net force applied to an object and the distance over which the force is exerted. Work, quantified in joules, measures the energy transferred by the force over a specific distance.
Work, W(J) in joules is calculated by multiplying the net force, NF(N) in Newtons by the displacement, D(m) in metres.
Work, W(J) = NF(N) * D(m)
W(J) = work in joules, J.
NF(N) = net force in Newtons, N.
D(m) = displacement in metres, m.
Net Force to Work Calculation:
1.Calculate the work done when a force of 50 Newtons is applied to push a cart 3 metres across a level surface.
Given: NF(N) = 50N, D(m) = 3m.
Work, W(J) = NF(N) * D(m)
W(J) = 50 * 3
W(J) = 150J.
2.Suppose 300 joules of work is done while applying a constant net force of 75 Newtons. Calculate the displacement.
Given: NF(N) = 75N, W(J) = 300J.
Work, W(J) = NF(N) * D(m)
D(m) = W(J) / NF(N)
D(m) = 300 / 75
D(m) = 4.
