Identify the force applied
Identify the displacement
Use the formula: Work = Force × Displacement × cos(θ)
Measure force in newtons
Measure displacement in meters
Measure angle θ between force and displacement
Multiply force by displacement
Multiply by the cosine of the angle
Express work in joules
If force and displacement are in the same direction, use Work = Force × Displacement
If force is perpendicular to displacement, work = 0
If multiple forces act, calculate the work done by each force separately and add them if needed
