(Thermodynamics) The work, W, performed by a single piston in an engine can be determined by this formula:
W = F × d
F is the force provided by the piston in Newtons.
d is the distance the piston moves in meters.
a. Determine the units of W by calculating the units resulting from the right side of the formula. Check that your answer corresponds to the units for work listed in Table.
b. Determine the work performed by a piston that provides a force of 1000 N over a distance of 15 centimeters.
