Answer:

The product of force and the displaced distance,
W=Fx.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In physics, the work is a measure of energy transfer that is carried out when an object is displaced over a distance by an applied force at least part of which is exerted in the direction of the movement. In such a way, one could define it the product of force and the displaced distance as shown below:


W=Fx

In a more formal way it is defined by the integral form:


W=\int\limits {F} \, dx

Best regards.
