LESSON 2: CALCULATING THE AMOUNT OF WORK (Page 2) Substitute:
W = 1,000 N (8 m)
A. WORK IN A HORIZONTAL LEVEL = 8,000 J

The operational definition of work (W) is: Sample Problem 2:

Work = force X distance
W = F(d) (Equation 1) Anton exerted a force of 15 N to pass a ball to Martin. If he did 100 J in doing the
work, how far did the ball travel to reach Martin?
The equation leads us to the SI unit of Work that is newton.meter (N.m) or joule
(J). Remember that the unit for Force is in newton (N) and the distance or displacement is Given: F = 15 N
in meter (m). The unit is named after James Prescott Joule, and English scientist. Read W = 100 J
any article about Mr. Joules so you will know why he is given this honor. d=?

The equation for Work will allow us to derive the expression for Force and Solution:
Distance.
d = W = 100 N.m ( cancel N), so the unit left is m
W=F▪d F 15 N
= 6.7 m
The distance is:
Sample Problem 3:
d=W (Equation 2)
F If a father exerted 380 J in lifting his daughter 2.00 m in the air, how much force
did the father apply?
The Force is
Given: W = 380 J
F=W (Equation 3) d = 2.00 m
d F=?
Check the units in these equations to verify the derivation. Solution:

Let us try using the equations in these word problems: F=W

d
Sample Problem 1: Substitute: F = 380 N.m (cancel m, so the unit left is N)
a. m
How much work is done on a car pushed with a horizontal force of 1,000 N to a = 190 N
distance of 8 meters? (Analyze the problem by identifying the given.)
Given: F = 1,000 N
d=8m
W=?
Solution:
W=F▪d
 (Page 3) In your calculator, press cos 30 X50X5 then the = sign. What’s your answer?
ACTIVITY 2: Try solving this! Identify the given and show your solution. Do it on a
whole sheet of paper CORRECT! You must get 222.75 J or 223 J
ANALYZE THIS!
1. It requires a 30 N to roll a bowling ball to a distance of 10 m. Using the same
amount of work of 190 n, how far will a tennis ball travel if the force applied is Example 1:
halved?
How much work is done on a floor polisher pulled 4.0 m by a force of 70.0 N at an angle
2. How much force is exerted on a bowling ball if a player applied a work of 200 J of 30.00 above the horizontal?
for a distance of 10 m to it?
Given:

C.WORK CONSIDERING THE MAGNITUDE OF FORCE, DISPLACEMENT AND d = 4.0 m F = 70.0 N

THE ANGLE BETWEEN THEM
θ = 30.00 W=?
To determine the amount of work done on the object, we have to consider
Solution:
the magnitude of force, the displacement and the angle between them. Work is
calculated by: W = (Fcosθ)d
= 70.0 N (cos 30.0) 4.00 m Note: Get your calculator and press the given =
W = (Fcosθ)d 242 J data as is
Where:
Your calculator will give you the answer 242.48. Since the given data (force, angle and
W = work
displacement) are in 3 significant digits, then the answer must be rounded to 242, 3
F = force parallel to the displacement significant figures
d = displacement
θ = the angle between the force and the displacement
Example 2:

How far the shopper did pushed a cart at an angle of 28.00if she exerted a force of 190 N
with a total work of 953 J on the cart?
Given:
W = 953 J F = 190 N
0
Θ = 28.0
Solution:
d= W
The girl in the figure is pulling a cart above horizontal floor. Displacement, force and FcosΘ
angle is shown. This time, you need a scientific calculator for easier computation. Substitute:
In the calculator, you must practice how to use it. Try this! In the W = (Fcosθ)d, d = 953 N.m = 5.68 m
assuming the following given: θ = 300; F = 50 N; d= 5 m 190 N(cos28)

the work applied is 900 J? a. Force and distance are applied which makes the object move in perpendicular
direction
Given: θ = 30.00 d = 12.0 m b. Force and distance neither applied
W = 900 J F=?
c. The force applied is parallel to the distance traveled by the object
Solution: d. Force and distance applied are always in opposite direction.
F= W ______ 5. The operational definition of work considering the magnitude of force,
