Work done and direction

Angled pulling force on a box showing the horizontal component that does work

Work done is the energy transferred when a force makes its point of application move through a displacement. For a constant force parallel to the motion, W=FsW = FsW=Fs, so 1 J=1 N m1 \, \text{J} = 1 \, \text{N m}1J=1N m.
