Work Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Work = Force*Displacement*cos(Angle A)
W = F*d*cos(∠A)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Trigonometric cosine function, cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Work - (Measured in Joule) - Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object.
Force - (Measured in Newton) - Force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity.
Displacement - (Measured in Meter) - Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.
Angle A - (Measured in Radian) - The angle A the space between two intersecting lines or surfaces at or close to the point where they meet.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Force: 2.5 Newton --> 2.5 Newton No Conversion Required
Displacement: 100 Meter --> 100 Meter No Conversion Required
Angle A: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = F*d*cos(∠A) --> 2.5*100*cos(0.5235987755982)

Evaluating ... ...

W = 216.50635094611

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

216.50635094611 Joule --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

216.50635094611 ≈ 216.5064 Joule <-- Work

Torque

Go Torque Exerted on Wheel = Force*Length of Displacement Vector*sin(Angle between Force and Displacement Vector)

Distance Traveled

Go Distance Traveled = Initial Velocity*Time Taken to Travel+(1/2)*Acceleration*(Time Taken to Travel)^2

Magnetic Flux

Go Magnetic Flux = Magnetic Field*Length*Thickness of Dam*cos(Theta)

Ride rate of car

Go Ride rate of car = (Wheel rate of vehicle*Tire rate)/(Wheel rate of vehicle+Tire rate)

Refractive Index

Go Refractive Index = sin(Angle of Incidence)/sin(Angle of Refraction)

Heat Rate

Go Heat Rate = Steam Flow*Specific Heat Capacity*Temperature Difference

Work

Go Work = Force*Displacement*cos(Angle A)

Angular Displacement

Go Angular Displacement = Distance Covered on the Circular Path/Radius of Curvature

Capacitance

Go Capacitance = Dielectric Constant*Charge/Voltage

Angular Momentum

Go Angular Momentum = Moment of Inertia*Angular Velocity

Acceleration

Go Acceleration = Change in Velocity/Total Time Taken

Amplitude

Go Amplitude = Total Distance Traveled/Frequency

FAQ

What is Work?

Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object and is represented as W = F*d*cos(∠A) or Work = Force*Displacement*cos(Angle A). Force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position & The angle A the space between two intersecting lines or surfaces at or close to the point where they meet.

How to calculate Work?

Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object is calculated using Work = Force*Displacement*cos(Angle A). To calculate Work, you need Force (F), Displacement (d) & Angle A (∠A). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Force, Displacement & Angle A and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
