Enter the force applied and the distance into the calculator to determine the work done. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.
Newton To Joules Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the work done in Joules when a force is applied over a certain distance.
W = F * d
Variables:
- W is the work done (Joules)
- F is the force applied (Newtons)
- d is the distance over which the force is applied (meters)
To calculate the work done, multiply the force applied by the distance over which the force is applied. This will give the work done in Joules.
What is Newton To Joules?
A Newton and a Joule are both units of measurement in the International System of Units (SI), but they measure different things. A Newton is a unit of force, while a Joule is a unit of energy or work done. The relationship between these two can be understood through the basic physics formula: work done (in Joules) equals force (in Newtons) multiplied by distance (in meters). Therefore, a Newton to Joules conversion would not be valid without considering the distance over which the force is applied.
How to Calculate Newton To Joules?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Work Done using the formula W = F * d.
- First, determine the force applied (F) in Newtons.
- Next, determine the distance over which the force is applied (d) in meters.
- Next, gather the formula from above = W = F * d.
- Finally, calculate the Work Done (W) in Joules.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
force applied (F) = 10 Newtons
distance over which the force is applied (d) = 5 meters
