Work, in the scientific sense, is defined as force applied over a distance and is measured in the International System (SI) in Joules (J) which are also known as Newton meters (Newtons being the SI unit of force and meters being the SI unit of distance).

For example, if I use 20 Newtons to push a box across the floor 3 meters, the work I exerted is:

Work (J) = 20 N X 3 m

Work (J) = 60 N m

Work = 60 J
