Detailed explanation-1: -The SI unit of work is joule (J). Joule is defined as the work done by a force of one newton causing a displacement of one meter. Sometimes, newton-metre (N-m) is also used for measuring work.
Detailed explanation-2: -joule, unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI); it is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one metre. Named in honour of the English physicist James Prescott Joule, it equals 107 ergs, or approximately 0.7377 foot-pounds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Joule is the SI unit of work done. Therefore, the dimensional formula of Joule is the same as that of the work done. On substituting equation (2) and (3) in equation (1) we get, Work (Joule)= F × D = [M1 L1 T-2] × [L1] = [M1 L2 T-2].
