Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the displacement of the object in the direction of that force. The formula for calculating work is:
Work = Force x Displacement x cos(θ)
Where:
- Work is measured in joules (J)
- Force is measured in newtons (N)
- Displacement is measured in meters (m)
- θ is the angle between the force and the direction of displacement
