It is the pulling force applied multiplied by the displacement of the object being pulled in the direction of the pulling force.

What type of work is being done when pulling?
The same type as is done when pushing, shoving, rolling, lifting, wiggling etc. ... a force acting through a distance.
When a book falls from a shelf to the ground without anyone pushing it Is work is being done on the book?
Work is being done by the force of gravity. When the book falls to the floor, there's a force on it, and the force keeps acting on it as it covers the distance. A force acting through a distance is the definition of work. Maybe there's nobody pushing the book, but the force of gravity is pulling it down, and it's the force of gravity that does the work on the book.
What effect will the direction of the applied force to a book have on the amount of work being done?
The work being done will be increased if you pick it up instead of dragging it due to the friction.
How much force is done with the work being 10 and distance being 3?
Work is force times displacement (distance). Thus, about 3 work is being done. The unit depends on the unit of the work and distance. If the work unit is Joules, and the distance unit is meters, then the force unit would be Newtons.
Is work being done on an object in free fall?
Instead work on object, work is being done by the object during its free falling

How do you know work is being done?
work is being done when you use energy
Is work done if you push a car that has run out of gas?
Yes. The work is being done by whoever is pushing rather then the engine, but work is being done. Any time a force is applied through a distance, work is being done.
What is the work being done the girl pulling her cart?
The force exerted by the girl in pulling the toy car is in the same direction as the distance covered when the force is applied.

How does a book work?
work can only be done by a living being
What does Lab work means?
It is work that is being done in a laboratory.
When you do laundry is work being done?
Yes it is.
How do you know when work is being done?
you know when work is done when it's finished and checked and approved by someone.
What force allows work to be done?
Any force can produce work if it causes displacement. If displacement is in opposite direction of force, work done will be negative and if displacement is in direction of force work done will be positive. If there is no displacement, work done is zero. Eg: Gravitational force pulls you down towards earth, in pulling you down it does work on you which gets stored in form of potential energy. Energy for A+
Is work being done when someone is typing a letter?
Yes it is being done, if the person doing it is doing it as part of a paid job or because they run a business and the letter is needed for the business. If it is being typed for school it may also be considered work, but of a different kind. And from the view of physics, since energy is being expended by the person typing, and perhaps by the machinery being used, work is being done. However, if you are at work and typing a letter to your grandmother, that is not the kind of work you are being paid for and your employer would say work is not being done.
Work is being done when?
you apply a force to an object
