How to use it
- Enter force and its unit.
- Enter movement distance and its unit.
- Enter the angle between force and movement, then calculate.
Work Calculator
Calculate idealized mechanical work from force, movement distance and their angle.

About the Work Calculator
This calculator estimates signed mechanical work from a constant force acting across a straight-line displacement.
Formula and logic
Work uses W = F × d × cos(θ). A 0° angle gives maximum positive work, 90° gives zero and angles above 90° produce negative work.
Example
A constant 100 N force acting through 5 m at 0° corresponds to 500 J of idealized work.
Notes
The model assumes constant force and a single displacement direction; changing forces and paths require a more detailed analysis.
