  1. Work is a force acting through a distance. Work = force x distance W = Fd

  2. A spring scale is used to measure units of force

  3. joule (J) Work = Force x Distance Work = 400N x 1.5 m Work = 600 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 called a joule (jool)
