Work is normally considered labor, toil, or effort. It is used as a synonym for "job".

In physics, work is the energy transferred by the action of a force over a distance.

---

The formulae for computing work are W = f * d or W = P * t

Work = Force applied * distance travelled. Work = Power * Time applied

The SI unit is the joule (kg-m2 /sec2 ), equivalent to 1 x 107 ergs.
