F = a + bx

We're told that 'F' is force and 'x' is distance. So both of the terms 'a' and 'bx'

are also force.

Dimensionally:

[ a ] = [ force ] = [ mass - length3 - time-2 ]

[ b ] = [ force/length ] = [ mass - length2 - time-2 ]

Does force over distances stay the same if distance is the same as force?

This question is, unfortunately, not well stated. Force and distance are different in dimensions so force and distance cannot ever be the same. You could have numerically similar dimensions - such as 2 Newtons and 2 feet, but they are not the same thing. The question needs to be re-stated and clarified so that we can give a valid answer.


What is force times distance equals?

Force times distance equals work.


What does work equals force times?

Force times Distance equals Work


What is the dimension of moments of force?

Moments of force are typically described in units of torque, which have dimensions of force times distance. Therefore, the dimensions of moments of force can be expressed as distance multiplied by force, such as in Newton-meters (Nm) or foot-pounds (ft-lb).


How do you find distance in the formula work equals force times distance?

To find distance in the work formula, you can rearrange the formula to distance equals work divided by force. This allows you to calculate the distance by dividing the work done by the force applied.


What equals force and distance?

Work equals force multiplied by distance. It is a measure of the energy transferred to or from an object when a force is applied over a certain distance. Mathematically, work = force x distance x cos(theta), where theta is the angle between the force and the direction of motion.


Force times distance?

equals work


Work equals force times?

distance


Is force different from energy?

Yes - quite different. Energy has dimensions of force x distance - if you apply a force over a certain distance, you transfer a certain amount of energy.


What does work divided by force equal?

Work divided by force equals distance. This equation is based on the formula for work, which is work = force x distance. By rearranging the formula, you get distance = work/force.


How do you find the effort force if you already have the load force and the distance moved by load force?

work (effort) equals load times distance


Work is defined as a force PLUS a distance?

< TIMES >You can't add or subtract quantities with different dimensions, like force and distance, speed and volume, etc.
