A force F acting on an object of mass m causes a displacement d. The angle between these two vectors is Θ. The work W done on that object is expressed by

Respuesta :

Work:
[tex]W= \int\limits^b_a {F.} \, ds [/tex]

F: force
ds: displacement

Assuming the work is constant:

[tex]W= \int\limits^b_a {F.} \, ds = F . d = F * cos\theta * d[/tex]

d displacement
