Unit of Work
- SI unit of work done is Joule(J).
- Other unit of work done is Newton meter(Nm)
Dimension of Work Done
The dimension of work done is [ML2T–2]. It is defined as the product of the magnitude of displacement d and the component of the force acting in the displacement direction.
Work Done
Work is said to be done when a force (push or pull) applied to an object causes a displacement of the object. In our daily life, we do work and get tired. Even if we are doing our work while sitting on a chair, we say we have done a lot of work and got tired. But this is not the work done as per the definitions of physics.
In this article, we will learn the definition of work in terms of physics and the factors on which work depends.
