How can work be measured?

Learn how to measure work in physics by calculating force and distance, using the formula W = F x d in joules (N/m). Practice with examples like pushing an object or moving a chair to grasp the concept effectively.

  1. How can work be measured? Section 3-6

  2. Measuring work W = F x d Unit is the joule (N/m) Suppose you hold a 10 N object 2 m above the floor, how much work does it take?

  3. Direction of force To measure work, you must measure the force applied in the direction of motion. How much work is done if you use 5 N of force to push a 20 N chair 3 m across the floor.
