Work and Power Formula

Work and Power

Work and Power

​Basic formula:

W = F x S

​P = W/t

​F = Force in the horizontal direction

​S = Distance

​W = Work

​P = Power

​t = time

​W = F x S

First condition​

​Force is parallel to the distance and direction

​W = F x S

Second condition

​Force creates an acute angle on the distance line

​W = Fcos(theta) x S

Third condition

​Force creates a right angle on the distance line

​W = 0

Fourth condition

​Force creates an obtuse angle on the distance line

​W = -F x S
