Joules to Force Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the force (F) from joules (J) is:

\[ F = \frac{J}{d} \]

Where:

\( F \) is the force (N).
\( J \) is the number of joules of work (J).
\( d \) is the distance over which the work was performed (m).

Example

Let's say the work done is 100 joules, and the distance over which the work was performed is 5 meters. Using the formula:

\[ F = \frac{100}{5} \]

We get:

\[ F = 20 \]

So, the force (\( F \)) is 20 newtons.

Can Joules be Converted to Force?

Yes, joules can be converted to force if the distance over which the work was performed is known. Joules is a unit of force times distance, so to figure force, you must know the distance.
