Work

Whenever a force of any kind causes motion, work is
accomplished. For example, work is accomplished when an
object on a conveyor is moved from one point to another.

Work is defined by the product of the net force (F) applied and
the distance (d) moved. If twice the force is applied, twice the
work is done. If an object moves twice the distance, twice the
work is done.

W = F x d
