How to calculate work from force and distance
This calculator finds work done by a force from force magnitude and distance moved — the fundamental physics definition of mechanical work.
How the calculation works
Work = Force × Distance.
Example
100 N of force moving an object 5 meters: 100×5 = 500 J.
Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Work From Force And Distance
- This assumes force is applied in the same direction as motion — for force at an angle to motion, multiply by cos(angle) as well for accurate work.
- If an object doesn't actually move (zero distance), zero work is done regardless of how much force is applied, a common point of confusion with the everyday meaning of 'work'.
Common Work From Force And Distance Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming work is done whenever force is applied, even if the object doesn't actually move — in physics, zero displacement means zero work regardless of force magnitude.
