Question:
Define work.
​

Answer 1

Hey there!

Work is defined as the the force which gets applied to an object in order to displace (move) it. For example, you work in order to walk up & down the stairs. For this, you need to apply force as well. So, work done = force × distance.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Work, in physics, refers to the measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force at least part of which is applied in the direction of the displacement.
