Work Help

This calculator uses the following formula:

W = Fx cos(A)
Where:
  • W = Work
  • A = Angle between the force and its displacement
  • F = Force
  • x = Displacement

Note that if F is in the same direction as x then the angle will equal 0 and because the cosine of 0 is 1 the formula can then be written as:

W = Fx

When using this calculator the angle defaults to 0, however it can be changed as needed for greater flexibility in your calculations.
