Work is defined as the measure of the displacement of an object or a point. Some common examples of force include riding a bike uphill or carrying something in the presence of the earth\u2019s gravity. In essence, work is nothing but a mechanical manifestation of energy. It is represented as W<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mathematically, it is represented as follows;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

W=Fdcos\u03b8<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Where,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • F<\/em><\/strong> is the force applied<\/li>
  • d<\/em><\/strong> is the displacement<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s look at the work units below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    SI Unit of Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The SI unit of work is joule (J). Joule is defined as the work done by a force of one newton causing a displacement of one meter. Sometimes, newton-metre (N-m) is also used for measuring work. However, as this unit is also used for torque it can get quite confusing. Thus, SI authority does not encourage anyone to use this unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Following is the table of units and dimensional formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    SI unit<\/strong><\/td>N.m<\/td>Joule<\/td><\/tr>
    CGS unit<\/strong><\/td>dyne-cm<\/td>Erg<\/td><\/tr>
    Dimensional formula<\/strong><\/td>ML2<\/sup>T-2<\/sup><\/td>\u2013<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Other Units of Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Some commonly used work units also include erg in the CGS system, the horsepower-hour, the newton-metre, the foot-pound, the kilowatt-hour, the foot-poundal, and the litre-atmosphere. Notably, work has a similar physical dimension as heat; therefore,\u00a0measurement units\u00a0such as BTU, therm and Calorie, are also used for measuring work done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
