Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.
What each letter means
| Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|
| Work | J |
| Force | N |
| Distance | m |
| Angle θ | ° |
Worked example
Find the work when Force = 10 N, Distance = 10 m, Angle θ = 30 °.
Using W = Fdcosθ: Work = 86.603 J.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for Work?
W = Fdcosθ.
What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?
Work in J, Force in N, Distance in m, Angle θ in °.
How do you calculate work?
Put the values into W = Fdcosθ. For example, with Force = 10 N, Distance = 10 m, Angle θ = 30 °, work = 86.603 J.
Can I solve for a different value?
Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (work, force, distance, angle θ) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
