The work done on an object can be calculated using the formula:
Work = Force x Distance x cos(theta)
Where: - Force is the amount of force applied to the object - Distance is the distance over which the force is applied - Theta is the angle between the force and the direction of motion
By knowing the force applied, the distance over which it is applied, and the angle between the force and the direction of motion, you can calculate the work done on the object.
