Method: Joules.work_done

Defined in:

lib/joules/energy_work_power.rb

.work_done(force, displacement, angle = 0) ⇒ Float

Calculates the work done given force, displacement, and angle.

Examples:

Joules.work_done(40, 2.34) #=> 93.6

Parameters:

• force (Int, Float) —

  force is in newtons

• displacement (Int, Float) —

  displacement is in metres

• angle (Int, Float) (defaults to: 0) —

  angle is in degrees

Returns:

• (Float) —

  return value is in joules

# File 'lib/joules/energy_work_power.rb', line 67

def work_done(force, displacement, angle = 0)
  return force * displacement * Math.cos(to_radians(angle))
