Work is the measure of energy transfer that occurs when a force is applied to an object and the object is displaced in the direction of the force.
Work is measured in units of joules (J) in the metric system, or foot-pounds (ft-lb) in the English system.
Work is directly proportional to the amount of force applied to an object and the distance over which the force is applied. This relationship is expressed as W = F x d, where W is work, F is force, and d is distance.
The work required will increase with a greater distance, as the force must be applied over a larger distance, resulting in more energy transfer.
Yes, 200 foot-pounds of work requires more work than 100 foot-pounds of work, as the former requires twice the amount of force or distance than the latter.
