When calculating the amount of work done, using the force applied and the displacement, does the weight of the object do anything ?

It depends - work is force * distance.

If you are lifting an object then the force is the weight.
If the object is moving on a real surface then the friction force you need to overcome will depend on it's weight.

Hi Jadaav!

Not unless the force depends on the mass (or weight) …

for example, the https://www.physicsforums.com/library.php?do=view_item&itemid=75" by gravity depends on the weight,

and the work done by https://www.physicsforums.com/library.php?do=view_item&itemid=39" , which (even on a slope) is proportional to the weight.

Thanks both of you tw

For now, I'm learning of work done without friction force.

Can I have a website where you can learn work done involving 'friction' please ?

Try this one: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/fricon.html"

Thanks, it sounds like an interesting site with a brainstorming in front.:)
