What to Focus On

  • Work needs force and displacement.
  • W = Fs cos θ for constant force.
  • Work is a scalar quantity.

  • Dimensional formula of work is [M L^2 T^-2].
  • Joule and erg are absolute units of work.
  • kg-m and g-cm are gravitational units of work.

  • Variable force requires integration.
  • Area under force-position graph gives work.
  • Spring force is a classic example of variable force.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any force acting on a body does work, even if the body does not move in the direction of the force.

If a body is moving, the work done on it must be positive.

Work is a vector because force and displacement are both vectors.

Memory Tips

Scientific definition of work

Work as scalar product

Positive, negative, and zero work

Zero work by a coolie carrying a load on a horizontal platform
