Overview#

Work is the energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement.

Work, in its simplest form, it is often represented as the product of force and displacement. A force is said to do positive work if (when applied) it has a component in the direction of the displacement of the point of application. A force does negative work if it has a component opposite to the direction of the displacement at the point of application of the force
