  • Work Done Calculation: Force, Distance & Joules - Physics Explained
    Here's how to calculate the work done:

    Understanding the Concepts

    * Work: Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. It's calculated as:

    * Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)

    * Force: A push or pull on an object.

    * Distance: The length of the path the object travels.

    Calculations

    1. Ignore the time: The time it takes to move the object is irrelevant to the work done.

    2. Apply the formula:

    * W = F x d

    * W = 5.6 N x 62 m

    * W = 347.2 joules (J)

    Answer: The work done is 347.2 joules.
