Calculate work done by a force using W = Fd cos θ. Determine the energy transferred when a force acts on an object over a distance at any angle.
Enter your values below
Magnitude of the applied force
Distance over which force is applied
Angle between force and displacement vectors
How this calculator works
Work equals force times displacement times the cosine of the angle between them. When force and displacement are in the same direction, cos(0°) = 1 and W = Fd.
