Work
• Work done on a system is the product of
the applied force multiplied by the distance
through which the system moves in the
direction of the force.
Work done = Force x distance
• In some instances, one may have to
evaluate the component of the force, i.e,
force is a vector quantity, therefore both
magnitude and direction are important.
Work done = FcosӨ x
distance Work done = weight x
