W
Work Calculator
The work a force does over a distance, at any angle, or the force or distance behind a known amount of work.

How it's calculated
W = F × d × cos θ
Work is energy transferred by a force moving something. Only the part of the force along the motion counts, hence cos θ: pulling a sledge with a rope at 30° does less work than pulling it level with the same force. Work is negative when the force opposes the motion, as friction does.
