If i push an object on the floor and drag it say 2 m in a straight line with force y. then the work done is force times displacement. that is 2y. work = force multiplied by distance.
Since the force is acting parallel to the direction of motion, the angle is equal to zero and our total work is simply the force times the displacement in the x-direction.
Is force equal to work?
Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object. The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object (W = F * d). A force of 10 newtons, that moves an object 3 meters, does 30 n-m of work.
Work, Force, and Distance It is directly related to both the force applied to the object and the distance the object moves. Work can be calculated with this equation: Work = Force x Distance.
In words: Work is equal to the force that is exerted times the distance over which it is exerted. In equation form: work (joules) = force (newtons) x distance (meters), where a joule is the unit of work, as defined in the following paragraph.
