Joules to Force Calculator

This calculator converts work (energy) in joules to force in newtons, assuming a constant distance over which the force is applied.

Input Parameters

Calculation Formula

Force (F) = Work (W) / Distance (d)

Where:
F = Force in Newtons (N)
W = Work in Joules (J)
d = Distance in Meters (m)

Joules to Force Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Joules to Force Calculator and understand the relationship between work, force, and distance.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the amount of work (energy) in joules in the "Work (Energy) in Joules" field.
  2. Enter the distance over which this work was done in meters in the "Distance in Meters" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the force.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Force in Newtons (N)" field.

Understanding the Formula

The calculator uses the formula: Force (F) = Work (W) / Distance (d)

This formula assumes that the work was done by applying a constant force over a certain distance. In physics, work is defined as the product of force and distance when the force is in the direction of the displacement.

Example

If you did 100 joules of work by lifting an object 5 meters vertically, the force you applied would be:

Force = 100 J / 5 m = 20 N

Important Notes

  • This calculator assumes a constant force. If the force varied during the work, a more complex calculation would be needed.
  • The units must be consistent. Ensure work is in joules and distance is in meters to get the result in newtons.
  • The calculator is for educational purposes and should not be used for critical engineering calculations.
