W = F · d · cos θ · Power · Energy · Units conversion

J ft·lb cal

Force (F)

Distance (d)

Angle (θ) between F and d

Work (ft·lb) — ft·lb

Work (cal) — cal

Work (Wh) — Wh

W = F · d · cos θ

Work increases linearly with force (constant distance)

Work = Force × Distance (same direction)

Work (W)

Time (t)

Power (kW) — kW

Power (HP) — hp

Energy (1 hour) — Wh

P = W / t

Power decreases with time (constant work)

Power = rate of doing work

Work (W)

Force (F) — solve for

Distance (d) — solve for

Angle (θ)

                            Force (F) = W / (d·cosθ)
                            —
                            N
                        

                            Distance (d) = W / (F·cosθ)
                            —
                            m
                        

F = W / (d·cosθ) | d = W / (F·cosθ)

For same work, force and distance are inversely related
