As early as 40,000 BC, hunters worked in groups to track and kill animals, while younger or weaker members of the tribe gathered food. When agriculture replaced hunting and gathering, the resulting surplus of food allowed early societies to develop and some of its members to pursue crafts such as pottery, weaving, and metallurgy. Historically, rigid social hierarchies caused nobles, clergy, merchants, artisans, and peasants to pursue occupations defined largely by hereditary social class. Craft guilds, influential in the economic development of medieval Europe, limited the supply of labour in each profession and controlled production. The establishment of towns led to the creation of new occupations in commerce, law, medicine, and defense. The coming of the Industrial Revolution, spurred by technological advances such as steam power, changed working life profoundly. Factories divided the work once done by a single craftsman into a number of distinct tasks performed by unskilled or semiskilled workers (see division of labour). Manufacturing firms grew larger in the 19th century as standardized parts and machine tools came into use, and ever-more-specialized positions for managers, supervisors, accountants, engineers, technicians, and salesmen became necessary. The trend toward specialization continued into the 21st century, giving rise to a number of disciplines concerned with the management and design of work, including production management, industrial relations, personnel administration, and systems engineering. By the turn of the 21st century, automation and technology had spurred tremendous growth in service industries. In physics, the measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force, some component of which is applied in the direction of displacement. For a constant force, work W is equal to the magnitude of the force F times the displacement d of the object, or W = Fd. Work is also done by compressing a gas, by rotating a shaft, and by causing invisible motions of particles within a body by an external magnetic force. No work is accomplished by simply holding a heavy stationary object, because there is no transfer of energy and no displacement. Work done on a body is equal to the increase in energy of the body. Work is expressed in units called joules (J). One joule is equivalent to the energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one metre.

work

The transfer of energy from one physical system to another expressed as the product of a force and the distance through which it moves a body in the direction of that force

work

work

and Net Work: Work is the energy required to move an object over a set distance Both motion and force must be present for work to occur In an IC engine, work is developed from pressures within the cylinder acting on the face of the piston (producing a force) times the distance through which the piston travels In the internal combustion engine some of the work produces power output (such as pressures producing piston movement during the power stroke) and some of the work is negative (like compressing the fresh charge on the compression stroke) The difference between the positive and negative work is the net work produced by the engine

work

Work W is the product of force F times the distance s through which the force acts As a formula, W = Fs For example, if you lift a 20-lb weight through a distance of 2 ft, the work equals 40 ft*lb In the cgs system, F is in dyne-centimeters, which is an erg A larger cgs unit, also used in SI, is the joule, equal to 107 ergs In the mks system, F is in newton-meters This unit is the same as 107 ergs Or 1 N*m equals 1 J The joule unit of work is named after James P Joule (1818-1889), an important English physicist Energy is the ability to do work Kinetic energy is due to the motion of a mass, as when you throw a ball Potential energy is stored energy, as in a coiled spring The units for both kinetic and potential energy are the same as for work
