TRANSCRIPT
Work is a force acting through a distance.
Work = force x distance
W = Fd
A spring scale is used to measure units of force
joule (J)
When force is measured in newtons and distance is measured in meters,the SI unit of work is the newton X meter (N x m). This unit is also calleda joule (jool)
Work = Force x DistanceWork = 400N x 1.5 mWork = 600 J
