Question

What is the unit of work?Explain whether the unit of work is a fundamental unit or a derived unit.​

Answer 1

Answer:

One joule is defined as the amount of work done when a force of one newton is exerted through a distance of one meter. 1 joule of work = 1 N of force x 1 m of distance. In the English system of units, where force is measured in pounds, work is measured in a unit called the foot-pound (usually abbreviated ft-lb).

yes the unit of work is fundamental derived unit because 1joule is equal to the amount of work done in 1second

Answer 2

Answer:

Unit of work is joule.... hope it is helpful make me as branlist.

Explanation:

the unit of work is fundamental derived unit because 1joule is equal to the amount of work done in 1second. Most of the other answers point out (correctly) that, as we have currently defined the base units, energy (work) is derived. But it’s important to understand that our current setup is totally arbitrary. We consider length (meters) to be fundamental because we (used to) think that length was easy to define and measure. Now, length is defined in terms of c (the fundamental constant known as the speed of light). So, if we decided that energy was fundamental and therefore a base unit (the joule) and, given that mass and energy are equivalent—related by c^2—then length would no longer be a base unit but would be derived from time and mass/energy.
