Quotation from: General Science

The work done by a boy who raises a 5-pound knapsack to his shoulder
would be 5x4, or 20, providing his shoulders were 4 feet from the
ground.


The amount of work done depends upon the force used and the distance
covered (sometimes called displacement), and hence we can say that


Work = force multiplied by distance,
or _W = f x d_.
