W = Fcosq Dx Lesson 1 : Work Done by a Constant Force When a force acts on an object while displacement occurs, the force has done work on the object. The magnitude of work (W) is the product of the amount of the force applied along the direction of displacement and the magnitude of the displacement.
N . m = Joule (J) + Work - Work If the force has a component in the direction of the displacement. If the force has a component in the opposite direction of the displacement. Units of Work Determining the Sign of Work
Rank the following situations in order of the work done by the force on the object, from most positive to most negative. [Displacement is to the right and of the same magnitude.] Example 1

Example 3 A common technique used to measure the spring constant (k) is shown above. The spring is hung vertically, and an object of mass m is attached to its lower end. Under the action of the “load” mg, the spring stretches a distance d from its equilibrium position.
